Summary

This Latias ex is in excellent condition, showing a beautifully pristine front with strong centering and surface quality. The overall grade is limited to a Mint 9 primarily by minor specks of whitening on the back corners and slightly shifted back centering.

ROI

The front presents as Gem Mint, but the minor corner defects on the back will reliably prevent a 10 at any major grader. PSA is generally slightly more lenient on back centering than BGS or CGC, making it the best option to secure a solid Mint 9 and maximize value.
