Just a guess, but look at it real closely, tilting it in the light and whatnot. Since it was put into the VG/EX category, chances are there's probably some sort of hidden 'crease' somewhere. I put the word in air quotes, because it doesn't have to be what a normal collector would consider a crease, but some kind of small, crease-like anomaly maybe?

That shouldn’t be egregious enough to get a 4. PSA’s standard for the front on a 4 is 85/15. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

An example for consideration......
 Many years ago, at the Ft Washington Show, I submitted this T206 Walter Johnson to SGC. I was quite disappointed with the grade they gave it. So I inquired. Derek Grady, who was the grader of it at that time, pointed out to me (under magnification) that there was a very faint smear of a tiny glue spot (almost invisible) on this card's back. My point here is, take a close-up look of the back of this Jimmy Foxx card. The front of this card is perfect. That's not a "stain" in the lower left (it's part of the infield grass in the picture).
