    Not from those photo's. Minor paper loss on back maybe? Creasing could be a problem but it doesn't look like it from the photos. I found the auction and even with a bigger back photo it looks real clean. Maybe a minor pinhole? I don't see one though. Usually that would sink it to a PSA 1 holder but with this card looking so clean otherwise maybe it got a bump up to a 2. Good looking PSA 2 and a tough card.

    Yes, because PSA obviously thought it was better than a 1, but not good enough for a 3image

    I would guess there is some type of problem on the front of the card. You have to wonder why the seller would take a crappy pic of the front of the card, but a much better (not great) pic of the back of the card??? Maybe minor paper loss somewhere?

    Is there something on the front right below the holder's elbow, or is that glare from the case? Maybe that's why it's a PSA 2.

    Do you see water damage or is that a guess? Could be a good guess..

    i enlarged it a little on my computer, it almost looks like someone may have drawn a line around the kickers leg.
    Great looking card nonetheless.

    Now why would I guess? Between his elbow and thigh, blow the pic up because something is there. I see a set of two almost cirular dots. Probably why it's such a bad pic of the card.

    I have a 48 J Robby rookie that looks like a 5 that is in a 2 holder. The reason? A crease that was spooned out. I would think this card has the same 'problem'

    Well here are some better scans now in hand. The only thing I can see are what looks like very small specks of glue on the back. I still think it's worhy of a higher grade..

    Looks great! Nicer corners than my 7 for sure. Are you sure there's no minor paper loss on the back?

    Looks like a nice buy!
