Summary

An exceptional, essentially pack-fresh card with immaculate front presentation. The minor factors holding it back from complete perfection are a slight back centering deviation and one virtually microscopic potential touch on the back top right corner tip.

ROI

PSA is lenient on centering (allowing up to 60/40 on the front and 75/25 on the back for a Gem Mint 10). Because the front is virtually flawless, this card is an incredibly strong candidate for a PSA 10. The value multiplier for a PSA 10 Venusaur ex SIR makes grading very worthwhile.
