Your card obviously has a problem somewhere because GAI only graded it a 4.5. Your poor quality picture makes it look better than a 4.5 but it's hiding whatever is wrong with the card. GAI saw something and only graded it a 4.5. PSA saw the same thing and didn't want to cross the card over. SGC will see see the same thing and will grade it according to their standards. Both PSA and SGC would love to put the card in their holder for you if they can.

We might be able to tell you what the problem is if you put a good quality scan up. My guess is the problem will be found along the right edge. Your picture hints at some breaks in the paper along the right edge to the right of his head and hands. They could be the start of creases running through the card or they could be breaks in the paper at the edge that go through from front to back. This will kill the grade of an otherwise great looking card. Is that the picture the person used to sell you the card?
