When you say "I've seen", do you mean that you had the cards in hand, with a loupe, or on a computer screen?
Some grading companies will give a nice looking card a lower grade if the submitter requests no qualifiers. So instead of grading a card a 5 with a MK (mark) qualifier, the card will get a grade of a 3.
Other grading companies don't issue qualifiers when grading and place a lower grade accordingly, so this also may be why you see a nice card with a low grade.
