Why grade a card missing a HUGE chunk?

I don't know that grading this card was worth the effort.... I am sure 707 gets a huge discount for their volume, but c'mon....

I guess at the very least the buyer will know that the card is not a reprint.

maybe it's the handwriting on the back containing some esoteric code we
underlings don't have the capabilities of deciphering.

Sellers like to be able to say that "the card has great eye appeal despite the assigned grade."

That does seem a bit silly lol

but if they can get $19 for a $6 card, then I guess it will have worked.
