Leon,
That is a phenomenal card! I have no doubt that it will bring some heavy hitters to the auction block, as it should.
I also agree, as has been much discussed, that photo quality should be a much greater consideration in grading 19th century sepia cards like this. My guess on the technical grade is that the minor stain on the back kept it out of the higher grade, though if one only looks at the front it is a no-brainer.

P.S. That card not only has an incredible image, but it is also centered and has none of the common tilt cuts that can be a bit distracting.
