Summary

A pristine card with Mint condition corners, edges, and surface. The grade is primarily limited by the centering, particularly on the back where the top border is noticeably wider than the bottom.

ROI

While the card is in beautiful condition physically, the centering issues (especially on the back) make a 10 unlikely. As a modern promo card, the value increase from Raw to PSA 9 is minimal and likely does not cover the grading fees.
