It is no surprise at PSA, with the TOUGH grading on the super star Rookie Cards such as this #311. I can practically guarantee that if this were any other common from the'52T set, it would have earned Fair 1.5!
Sure, there is some subtle creasing, a wrinkle or two and some surface wear (snow) that is really accentuated when this card is card is imaged, due to the bright scanner light against the sky-blue background. And, there is some damage to the upper left corner area.
The card does technically deserve Poor 1, but it is certainly one of the stronger examples on the "Poor 1 Spectrum". Please examine the high resolution scans included, front and back. If you feel that you need more images, please just ask. Get images that make Supersized seem small.
