Summary

This card is in exceptional, pack-fresh condition. The front is virtually flawless with excellent centering, pristine corners, and a clean surface. The back shows slightly off left-to-right centering, but remains well within tolerances for a Gem Mint grade.

ROI

The minor back centering shift (approximately 56/44) is well within PSA's 10 standards (which allow up to 75/25 on the back). Given the pristine front and clean edges, this has a very strong chance of crossing over as a PSA 10.
