This grade reflects the front of the card only — back condition often decides the final grade. Add a back photo next time for a complete grade.
Centering

The front of the card displays exceptionally well with sharp edges and a clean surface. The primary limiting factor is the left-to-right centering, which leans slightly to the right, restricting the overall grade to a 9. A full back evaluation is required for a complete assessment.
Submit to PSA for best value
PSA is slightly more lenient on centering than BGS and will often award a 9 or even a 10 if the surface and corners are flawless (up to 60/40 is acceptable for a PSA 10, though 55/45 is safer for a 9). Without seeing the back, capping the grade at a conservative 9 is standard practice.
