Scocs, that is the beauty of “buying the card and not the holder”.
Sometimes there are anomalies that none of us can decipher. In fact i’d pay good money to have a PSA grader sit down with me and explain these scenarios.

I am sure it has a surface wrinkle somewhere. PWCC's scans/pics don't make wrinkles evident sometimes -- I know someone who has an amazing example of this but he hasn't posted it.

I wonder if Purple Label would sticker it also...

I also don't understand why it's only a 2.5 it looks to be in amazing condition!

I went to the specific eBay listing. Here is the reason for the (much) lower grade:

“exceedingly light, horizontal front surface wrinkle keeps from grading higher.”

That must be some wrinkle that I still couldn’t see on their nice large eBay scans.

I can confirm it’s only visible under a certain angle and I’d guess impossible to pick up on a scan or photo. Still... not sure it would justify a 2.5. But I’ll take it all day.
