Summary

This is a gorgeous, pack-fresh Special Illustration Rare card with excellent front-facing eye appeal. The front centering is extremely strong, though the back suffers from being visibly top-heavy and reveals a microscopic touch of whitening on the bottom left corner.

ROI

With strong front appeal but noticeable back centering issues and a tiny corner speck, this card is a very strong candidate for a PSA 9, with an outside chance at a 10 if the grader is lenient on the back centering. PSA 9s of modern chase cards still offer good liquidity.
