Peter, is there a small crease, or a front or back crease/spider, I am not seeing? Perhaps the grade was given because of the white mark on the bat, extending to the sky.

Regardless, at that grade, the price would have been substantially lower, enabling the buyer to get much more eye appeal for much less moo-lah.
