I know right? Technical grade doesn't always equal eye appeal. This card I think is a prime example of that. It's accurately graded, but the flaws are difficult to see.

Like some of the cards I've purchased, the scans don't always disclose the flaws.
During my early 52 collecting days, I purchased quite a few great looking cards, which I assumed were under graded but once in hand, and once turning/flipping/angling the cards in the light it was easy to see indents and the like.
Being somewhat disappointed thinking I was getting an under graded card, I quickly learned to trust the opinion of the seller I was getting the majority of my cards from.

Exactly. Cards that look EX in a scan can be P when you get them because of something that was not disclosed. This is one of the main reasons I usually buy graded on higher ticket items; it's frustrating that so few raw sellers (on eBay anyway...) even bother to list the condition of their card, describe it, or figure out grading for themselves. "Please see scan for condition." What? Well no, you can't do that. Technical grading / condition is more than just eye appeal. I have no problems with raw cards, but try to avoid sellers like that for reputable / trusted ones who can be bothered to put at least a one sentence description of their item in the listing that speaks to condition.
