I think the print dots and registration issue is what did the card in.

It looks like there could be a very small amount of paper loss in the top right corner. I had this exact same thing happen to me before. Try looking at that corner again through a loupe. If that's not it, you're probably missing a minor reverse wrinkle somewhere.

Can post a link to the seller-ready images from SGC? Those will eliminate the glare and shadows that are on your photos. I agree with others, however, that for that card to be a 3 there must be a wrinkle or paper loss somewhere.

I don’t understand the ‘wrinkle theory’ for the 3 Grade this card received. The grading company’s criteria for a 5 Grade reads:
“80/20 or better centering, minor rounding or fuzzing of corners, roughness or chipping along edge (no layering), one VERY slight surface or "spider" crease may exist on one side of the card, gloss may be lost from surface with some scratching that does not detract from the aesthetics of the card.” Certainly, a definition of the term “VERY slight surface or “spider” crease” would be helpful - but I’m sure it boils down to subjectivity. Btw, the company put the word ‘very’ in all-caps — not me. Considering the other visible aspects of the card, it seems that, based on their own criteria, it should grade around a 5. But a 3 is certainly puzzling. The paper loss theory does make sense though. |

If you have an SGC account, you can log in and enter the cert number and see the pictures there.
