Not sure what he meant by try again.

Edited to add: I'm thinking the same thing as you, Bobby - a tiny spider wrinkle.
My thought was there is a mark, or something that can be removed on the card not visible in the front scan posted on the website. This could also be a stain, wrinkle, etc. Without a back scan it's hard to tell. Most major AHs do post them but I would assume one was available upon request.

If that lower right corner is the only flaw maybe someone thought they could improve it and get a bump. It would be hard for me to justify 5k plus for this card when a great looking PSA 6 sold for about 2k less a couple of days ago. Dead centered.

I looked up SGC grading standards after reading Republicans post, and they mention a 2 can have a mark, and a nice looking 2 can get a grade of 2.5. So he's correct in that this card shouldn't have a mark but incorrect in that a 1.5 is not the highest grade such a card could receive.
