I'm certain that CJ grades have gotten much stricter in the last 2 years at PSA. What would be a 5 is now getting 3 or lower in some cases. One contributing factor seems to be that caramel staining is more closely scrutinized. On your card, the crease on the left definitely plays into the 3 as well as the staining. But to be honest I've seen that same condition and worse in 4's and 5's. Because of the wildly fluctuating grading in this set, unless you're playing the GPA registry game, buying the card vs the grade is crucial.
The grading variance is also one reason I think the pop reports for this set is off by as much as 25% with collectors cracking and resubmitting. p.s. that's a very tough card in the set and one you don't see come up for sale often. It's a beauty!
