If you look at the card, it appears to have residue from a slab of gum on it from
Clemente's neck area to the right border.
BUT...there is nothing atop the gloss. Nada. It is simply the way the card was printed
(beneath the gloss). Truly bizarre!
Here are a couple of other shots showing how the gloss has nothing sitting on top of it...

I contacted
SGC about it, and they told me
(paraphrased) if it appeared to have a stain of some sort on it, the grader would use a loupe and other tools to investigate it further. And they, too, saw that there is no stain marring the card, so it got the pretty nice grade it deserved.
