A lot of surface wear for that grade.

Look at the paper loss next to his ear. I don't recall ever seeing a card with that kind of damage grade so high.

Is one of those dust spots on the upper left the variation B missing pixel? Hard to tell.

I'd be suspicious too. Pair in the slab damage with the fact that the card looks closer to a 5 to me, I'd be skeptical.

I agree with all of the previous posts, seems strange.

Also, why is the card still in a GAI holder?? You would think the consignor and/or auction house would want it in a PSA or SGC holder. Odd indeed.
