How Did This Grade Happen?

This card appears stained and, from the scan, appears to be trimmed. How, by any sense of the imagination, is this an 80?

I think you are being kind when you say it appears to be trimmed. SGC did that one. I wonder when it was graded ?

That is the "80 on a diet" grade. Who needs borders anyway?

Even if it weren't trimmed I would grade that a 30. And since it is trimmed that would ultimately be 30 points too high. What were they thinking?

I guess surgically enhanced corners trump a dingy image. Ridiculous.

How can you guys even see enough to judge the grade? The scan is so dark when I click on it I wouldn't even know if it's a card or a grapefruit.
