Summary

This is a remarkably clean, pack-fresh card with virtually flawless edges and strong surface quality. The primary factor holding it back from a perfect 10 subgrade across the board is a slight centering shift on both the front and back.

ROI

PSA is recommended due to their higher leniency on centering (allowing up to 60/40 on the front for a Gem Mint 10). Because the edges and corners are exceptional, this card has a very strong chance of earning a PSA 10, whereas BGS or CGC might give it a 9.5 due to the centering.
