How did this get a 4?

I know this shouldn't change but they did. It is an ugly 4 though no matter how you look at it. I know it's much sexier to believe in some vast conspiracy but if you think the big submitters at PSA always get every card pushed to the max your crazy. And I'm sure this was not a card Levi was pressuring anyone for special treatment on.

I NEVER once said that anyone put pressure on anyone, and the word ALWAYS was never used, therefore, I'm sane!
Let me put it this way. At the National a few years ago I submitted what I thought was a sure 7. The TPG told me the card was a 2 and put forth their best effort to convince me the card had a "tiny" wrinkle. Well, by weeks end the card was submitted by a friend who is a "heavy hitter" and the card graded a 7. Go figure! Maybe, just maybe, this was just an anomaly?
