Scarlet & Violet—151(MEW) #199/165
Special Illustration Rare • 2023 • English
1000-Point Score: 985
Back Centering
Centering is slightly off, with the top border appearing thicker than the bottom.
minorThis is an exceptional example of the Charizard ex SIR. The card is virtually flawless with pristine corners, edges, and surface. The only minor imperfection is the centering on the back, which is slightly top-heavy, but well within the tolerance for a PSA 10 Gem Mint grade.
Submit to PSA for best value
This card is a prime candidate for PSA. PSA's centering standards for a 10 (Gem Mint) allow for up to 60/40 on the front and 75/25 on the back. While the back centering here is imperfect (approx 60/40), it easily clears PSA's threshold. BGS might penalize the centering subgrade more strictly (giving a 9 or 9.5), potentially preventing a Black Label, but a PSA 10 is highly likely and maximizes market value.
