 If I were to guess I would say there is a minor bend in the card that can be seen if you hold it at an angle--maybe not so much now that it is slabbed. These cards were printed on thin stock and are prone to such bends, which don't rise to the level of a crease or even a wrinkle but are noticeable in hand. Regardless, I can't see why you would regrade this beauty, it's not like several others are coming along. I suppose a Joe Jackson player card registry guy might want to better his over all avg, but I don't see the price being enhanced too much with a one or two grade bump. Then again, those who worship at the altar of the slab may feel differently.

Great story, fantastic card. Wish it was in an SGC slab. That red and white label is so distracting to a great vintage card.
