Summary

This Lugia V Alternate Art is in excellent condition, boasting a highly pristine front surface, sharp front corners, and great front centering. The primary limiting factors keeping it from a pristine 10 are slight left-to-right off-centering on the back and a microscopic speck of whitening on the back top-left corner.

ROI

While the card is exceptionally clean on the front, the minor back corner whitening and back centering hold it back from a 10, making a 9 the most realistic outcome. A PSA 9 maintains a strong premium and protects this highly desirable chase card.
