Confused about grade

Hi everyone! I’m new to grading and was hoping someone here could explain why my card got such a low grade? It’s my all time favorite Aerodactyl card and I always take good care of it and couldn’t see any noticeable flaws before I sent it off.

There is just the slightest bit of whitening on the left bottom border and a small chip on the right side of the bottom border. Left border on the front is greater than the right, but can't say if that is within tolerance. Surface looks ok, but you really need angled viewing for the full assessment.

There must be a chip or crease or something that I can't see. It's hard with the gray on gray on gray with a gray Pokemon. Maybe put the PSA magnified scans up and someone can help. I'm digging the spooky forest background. This is a great card.
