Summary
An exceptionally clean, pack-fresh example of the Blastoise ex Special Illustration Rare. The front presentation is virtually flawless, while the back exhibits a minor centering shift that is still well within GEM MINT standards for most companies.
Worth Grading
Submit to PSA for best value
PSA is famously more lenient on back centering (allowing up to 75/25 for a Gem Mint 10). Because the front is pristine and the back centering is only slightly shifted, this has a very high chance of securing a PSA 10, which yields the best return on investment for modern English Pokemon cards.
