Any other card that would NEVER get a 2.

I wondered about this but wanted to wait until the aucion was over until I asked a question. Did anyone see this LaJoie and wander how a card with staple holes could not be graded a 1?

I guess I need to save up for many years and then cash in when the time is right.

If I'm remembering correctly, that's how Goudey mailed out the Lajoie cards to collectors that requested them by mail in 1934 and later (stapled to the letter), so all that were sent that way supposedly have the staple holes. I would not agree that makes them anything more than PSA 1's at most either, but I'm sure that if a justification for a higher grade was ever needed, that's probably what it was.

the story I've always heard was mailing goudey was the only way to acquire this card...it seems that there are many high grade lajoies. I have never heard that these cards were stapled?

I have see far more goudey LaJoies with no staple holes than ones with them, fwiw.

Nope, that's incorrect.

What you are thinking of is the belief that many of the Lajoie cards were sent to collectors paperclipped to a letter, so many of the '33 Goudey Lajoie cards will exhibit a paperclip indentation.
