The beat card looks ok size wise and just looks worn so it makes you wonder why its doesnt have a number grade.

According to SGC’s website, the bottom Authentic card was graded in November 2023, well after SGC started specifying the reason for Authentic grades(Miscut, Altered, Added Color, Evidence of trimming).

It may have received the Authentic grade because it is partially held together by tape in the bottom corner (if tape is still present), or because it is missing such a large chunk of its corner (amongst other defects).
