Not to defend this card or the seller by any means, but it is possible that either or both the surface of the scanner or the plastic holder have dirt, smudges, flaws or some other issue that change the look of the card. I guess it would be hard to judge what it really looks like unless holding it in your hand. While I try to remember to clean the surface of my scanner periodically, dirt happens. I have also done scans only to discover later that a cat hair or something else was on the top loader, but made the card look different. In the interest of handling cards as little as possible, I do not remove from the top loader to make my scans. And of course, that is not possible with graded cards.
