Summary

This is a remarkably clean card with phenomenal eye appeal. The front centering, corners, edges, and surface are virtually flawless, while the only noticeable imperfection is a slight left-to-right centering shift on the back.

ROI

Because PSA is more lenient on back centering (allowing up to 75/25 on the reverse for a PSA 10), this card has an excellent chance at scoring a Gem Mint 10. CGC or BGS might hit it with a 9.5 or 9 due to the back centering.
