I am curious, what was wrong with the Trout to warrant a PSA 8? From the one photo, the centering, corners, and edges look good. Was there surface damage?

The trout had a surface streak - not really a scratch, but some type of rubbing that could have been from the printing process. I did not expect that taking it out as I couldn't see it through plastic, otherwise I would have left it in.
