Default How can this card be a PSA 8?

Came across this eBay auction ($350 Buy It Now) for a 1964 Curt Flood #103. Card is in a PSA 8 holder, but 3 of 4 corners in the supersize scan appear to have weak corners (EX at best) with some starting to show some rounding.

Am I missing something? What is going on here? I've never seen a PSA 8 with corners like this...

Thx.

They must have made a typo on the grade or something. The holder doesn't look like it's been messed with and the cert # shows that card as a PSA 8, but it's one of the worst looking PSA 8s I've seen.

Maybe I am naive for thinking that maybe it's their scanner? I have noticed a BUNCH of sundiego's cards in holders higher than I think they should be. Check out the rest of their listings to see what I mean...

Default Got a card from them last Spring...

a 1953 Topps Eddie Mathews PSA 6, and it arrived with heavily frosted PSA slab, with the card being, at best a 3.5

business travel and a vacation prevented me from having time to deal with it in a timely manner...

tread carefully with them

It is an 8 because the nattering nabobs of grading at PSA say it is...
