Summary

This card is in outstanding condition, displaying strong surface preservation and crisp corners and edges. The primary limiting factor is the top-to-bottom centering on the back, which is slightly bottom-heavy, though it falls within acceptable ranges for top tier grades at companies lenient on back centering.

ROI

The card has excellent front eye-appeal with no visible surface or edge wear. Because PSA is notoriously more lenient on back centering (allowing up to 75/25 on the back for a Gem Mint 10), this card has a very strong chance of securing a PSA 10. The Special Illustration Rare Gardevoir ex carries a solid premium in a PSA 10, making it well worth the grading fee.
