How could it possibly be a material fact that one random guy, who probably had never even seen a vintage card before, under graded a baseball card once upon a time?

In one breath you seem to dial in on the fact that these graders have no clue what they're doing yet in the very next breath you seem to cling to the idea that one random grader's opinion on a Tuesday afternoon in 1997 ought to be remembered.
If it's unimportant in fact, the market will disregard it. But on a card this significant, the market should be given the information in my opinion. I'd much rather err on the side of disclosure and transparency. Maybe the screw up was the guy who deemed it a 5, not the guy who rejected it. Who knows? People can judge the value of the information. What's the downside?
