My guess is cost.
As it sits the owner is a complete non collector who walked into a tiny card shop in Crosby, Minnesota which is a town of 2300 people. There is no auction house involved and just a bunch reaching out after the sgc video and the shop’s instagram photos started making the rounds. The SGC cost would have been much less and to a guy with zero knowledge you take the savings. For a regular Joe, I am sure he was blown away at likely taking a loan to grade this with no auction house fronting it.
Perhaps the auction house that wins the battle may try. I see no way PSA wouldn’t want their name on this card for the PR, it gets a 10 or they suck worse than I think, lol. At least with the cut, this is one they grade that isn’t trimmed up.
