I could understand if it was a 6, or even a 5 or 4 (with the crease), but seems nice enough to me for a 3; maybe a tad generous but at worst a 2.5
This is what I was thinking, it's still a 2-2.5. It's so hard to judge a card in a BVG slab because they often photograph terribly because of the penny sleeve inside and the depth of the holder.

I like to buy BVG simply because many buyers shy away from the photos and the grader.
