Summary

An exceptional example of a highly desirable chase card. The card is virtually flawless with pristine corners, edges, and surface. The only minor imperfection is the centering, which falls well within the tolerances for a Gem Mint 10 grade from most major grading companies.

This card is a prime candidate for a PSA 10. PSA's centering standards (60/40 front, 75/25 back) easily accommodate the minor centering shift seen here, whereas BGS might penalize the centering subgrade to a 9 or 9.5, preventing a Black Label but securing a strong Gem Mint. Given the high value of a Team Rocket Mewtwo SIR, the PSA 10 premium is the safest and most profitable route.
