As I remember the Art Shell, it had two corners that were imperceptibly touched, and there were two surface print flaws. That's a total of four things wrong with it. Even if they are tiny, that's a strong 8 at best.

Imperceptibly (impossible or difficult to perceive by the mind or senses) IMO meets the requirements of four sharp corners. If you can't perceive it, how can the corners be imperfect then?
And PSA's own granding standards details that while a card to meet PSA 10 must be free of staining "an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn't impair the overall appeal of the card." I tend to agree with Leon that it's a weak 10, I don't think the printing imperfection imparied the appeal of the card. There are many other PSA 10's from the 1970s and 1980s that exhibit similar printing imperfections, but as their own grading standard says, it can be allowed even on a PSA 10.
