Jarrod,
You did well to ask the board first. I bought one of these which the board deemed a fake a few days ago. You might want to review what they said;
As far as why some are graded, some not, why 8 years between selling and buying, my opinion is that we sometimes tend to presume too much. There could be a million legitimate reasons as to why, to any of these questions.
This card does look good at the bottom border, but then again there seems to be a curious line down there.
One thing I learned: Ask the seller for a better scan.
I also googled this, if it helps any:

Comparing the known authentic to the ebay card, there is something odd about the hat. But perhaps the pinhole has distorted it.
Hope you get a definitive answer. I'm curious myself.
