Can someone tell me why this is a 1

"Otherwise, this seller could have listed this Matty as VG+, when he knows for certain that it isn't."

This statement is so simple, yet so astute, that I think it deserved being repeated again.

It's exactly the reason why I support third-party grading, and am more than happy to accept their grading standards. A card doesn't get graded a 1 by accident, and yet the Matty looks very presentable.

Thanks for that brief moment of clarity on the subject of grading.
