Summary

An exceptionally clean copy with perfect edges, pristine front surface, and very sharp corners. The only notable flaw is the back centering being noticeably right-heavy, though it remains well within acceptable tolerances for most major grading gem mint standards.

ROI

PSA is more lenient on back centering, allowing up to a 75/25 ratio for a Gem Mint 10 grade. Given the flawless front presentation, this card is a very strong candidate for a PSA 10 despite the 40/60 back L/R centering.
