Now check out the eBay auction below. Although the card is still shown in a holder, it now grades Ex to Ex+ with no imperfections.... That is, no imperfections except for the paper loss on the back.... He doesn't even mention that the card has been graded SGC 2 (or was graded SGC 2 before he frees it from the slab to send to the buyer)....
