red heart
The 2.5 could have some staining or water damage from the back scan. I would have gone after the 2.5 as well... Nice looking card

It may have been glued into an album? Those back stains (possibly) follow that theory.

I think if you held the 2.5 in your hand and tilted it you would see a few tiny issues. That being said I would much, much prefer the 2.5.
A lot of our members, and myself included, collect by the card and not so much the flip. So we tend to have some great looking cards in lower number holders. It's part of what makes collecting fun. And then there is the other side that says "wow, look at my PSA (or SGC) 8".....it's all good....

On the back of the 2.5, looks like a faint side-to-side horizontal crease above the Batting Record box line and the black border line above Red Heart. With corners and centering that sharp, it has to be creased to get that grade. Given that, it still presents much better than the 4. And, I'd take it all day over the 4!

The scan for the PSA 2.5 isn't very clear, but there appears to be a shadow in the lower right hand corner that could be a bend. Usually a card that nice that gets down graded to a PSA 2.5 has a bend or paper wrinkle somewhere that may be very difficult to see.
