Summary

This is a beautiful pack-fresh card with flawless front edges, corners, and surface. The primary issue holding this back from a pristine score is the back centering, which leans noticeably to the left, along with a microscopic touch of white on the back bottom right corner.

ROI

The card is in excellent condition and could achieve a PSA 10 due to PSA's lenient centering standards (up to 60/40 front, 75/25 back for a 10). However, because the raw card value is very low (~$2-$4), the cost of grading will likely exceed or equal the graded value, making it not recommended for profit. It would strictly be for a personal collection.
