Didn't most of these get paper-clipped to letters and sent in the mail to kids that complained? Quite possible it was also steamed to remove the paper clip indent if it had one.
Also, previous Goldin sale of exact same card:

There's 91 graded 1933 Goudey Nap Lajoie cards in the PSA population report (not sure how many, if any, graded by SGC or Beckett) including 6 qualified examples, with over 30% of those graded earning NM 7 honours or better.
NM 7 - 13 cards
NM-MT 8 - 7 cards
NM-MT+ 8.5 - 1 card
MINT 9 - 9 cards
I could be wrong, but if memory serves, Jefferson Burdick received an envelope during the era the cards were released directly from Goudey with at least 10 Lajoies, and he dispersed most to prominent collectors at the time, including Lionel Carter. This would account for a number of the high grade examples in the hobby.
..... again, I could be remembering this wrong.
