Summary

This Ralts Illustration Rare is in exceptional, pack-fresh condition. The front is practically pristine with flawless corners and edges. The overall grade is held back only by the back centering, which is noticeably shifted, and a microscopic imperfection on the back top left corner.

ROI

PSA is generally more lenient on back centering, which is the primary flaw of this card. While the back centering is around 40/60, PSA can still award a 9 or occasionally a 10 depending on the grader. Modern Illustration Rares carry a strong premium in high grades.
