Summary

An exceptionally clean pack-fresh card with virtually flawless front presentation. Microscopic white specks on the back bottom left corner and back bottom edge hold it back from absolute perfection.

ROI

PSA is generally more lenient on microscopic back edge wear if the front is flawless and centering is strong. It has a strong chance at a PSA 10, whereas BGS or CGC will likely assign a 9.5 due to the strict subgrades.
