moderateThis Meowth Illustration Rare is in solid Mint condition. The front presents beautifully with excellent surface quality and sharp corners, but the overall grade is held back slightly by 60/40 back centering and minor wear along the back edges.
Grading costs may exceed value gained
The card is a strong candidate for a PSA 9 due to the centering and minor back edge wear. As modern Illustration Rares in PSA 9 often do not carry a significant premium over raw prices, grading may not be financially beneficial unless for a personal collection.
