  Put a green one in plastic brick screwdown holder, put a $100 price tag on it, and set it in the window of a now-defunct card store for most of the 1990s. Voila - blue card.

  Unsure if your being sarcastic but I buy that. Expains the 6 as well.

  I just remember seeing all those cards in showcases, exposed to direct sunlight. Someone actually did a pretty neat experiment on here a couple years back with fading out some 1970 Topps cards that were in PSA slabs. I'll see if I can dig it up - really neat thread.

  I have to go with sun-fading too. Gotta justify that surface grade somehow. That'd do it.

  Nolan Ryan & Edgar Martinez are my favorite players...

  I just asked them about the back.
  
  I also asked what the subgrades on it were to see if surface was the reason for the 6.

  BGS Card Number 5122742
  subs
  centering=8.5
  corners=6
  edges=8.5
  surface=6
  
  looks like not only a surface problem but corners as well.
