I am sure in hand with some magnification you will see why it got that grade. I have a 4.5 Ted Williams that in hand looks like a 7 till you find the pin head size bad spot under magnification.

If cracked, the edges can break unevenly; I'm not sure you would even be able to to fit them back together on a straight line. SGC occasionally gets flack for having "easy" slabs to bust - but if the point is more simply to tell when an authentic slab has been compromised, I don't think SGC is any worse than anyone else.
Sounds like a nice Ted Williams. Cards that present fabulously but have some tiny technical issue which suddenly makes them affordable are generally my favorites.
