The card in question looks G/VG to me.

I disagree about not grading cards. If I'm buying a card of any significant value online, I look for graded cards only. I don't care how good the scan is, sometimes a scan doesn't pick up tiny surface wrinkles or, as the previous poster stated, trimming.

However, if I'm buying the card in person, I don't mind buying raw at all. I've been doing this well over 25 years and I can spot just about anything in person that I might otherwise miss in a scan.

That said, I crack and display raw most of the graded cards that I buy.
