Novice collector thought it was a mint error.

Or sentimental reasons, grandmother gave it to him on her deathbed.

it is not even worth the eight dollar minimum fee or even the cost of a postage stamp and envelope

Maybe, he thought it was the more rarer,1983. It's far more rare!?

I thought about that for a moment, but figured it would not be on TT if it were a "family heirloom"

Why would someone put it up for sale on teletrade?-Do they actually think that someone will bid on it? And why would anyone bid on it?

I agree above^ Getting it graded seems insane, but there is some merit to the novice/error theory to at least explain the reason. But sending it to a major auction house has ZERO explanation.
