Card #161, Bud Byerly.
When I purchased this card, I thought there must be something obviously wrong for it to only receive a 2.5. But once in hand, and just now again, to this day, I cannot find anything glaringly wrong with it to receive this grade? OC, obviously, but with white borders and a barely touched upper left corner as its only faults, that I can see, this one is a real head scratcher.  (A couple phone pics taken just now added)

Wow, Dale! Gorgeous card in any grade. I agree that the 2.5 makes no sense. The only things that I see out of the ordinary is the diamond cut and that someone glued a severed thumb to the lower left corner, but that might only be on the slab.

 As you will notice, in the upper left corner, the card is sandwiched between the slab edges so I have no doubt, if I were to crack it, it would likely have a dent/mark where it was squished? I've tapped this slab hard numerous times trying to free it but it will not budge. No doubt in my mind this particular grader wasn't all that good at grading nor slabbing cards, at least on the day this one was done.

/QUOTE] I always thought the ST qualifier meant stain, but severed thumb would also work. Anyway, this Bud's for you.
