Summary

This is a strong MINT condition card. The front presents beautifully with excellent surface texture and clean edges, but the overall grade is held back slightly by left-to-right off-centering on the back and a microscopic speck of whitening on the back bottom-left corner.

ROI

As a highly desirable alternate art Charizard, this card commands a strong premium even in a PSA 9. While the back centering makes a 10 unlikely, a PSA 9 still offers a solid return over raw pricing and encapsulates the card beautifully.
