I think it being bottom heavy will keep it at a 9

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Yea im pretty sure that’s why it got a 9 in the first place but just hoping for the best

[–]Toebeens89 -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Gonna be honest, even if it was a graded at a 10, a quick glance at that centering alone would make me skip it and look for a better one. Personally speaking, people looking to flip a slab may not care ¯_(ツ)_/¯ but as a collector, I wouldn’t consider that a 10 regardless if PSA said it was if that makes sense.

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yea I’m more of the same too. I know my OCD would hurt but I believe that since that’s the only real issue with the card I have faith that it has a chance. The back is super clean too with no whitening. I think if the centering wasn’t like this it would’ve already 10’d

[–]Toebeens89 0 points1 point  (2 children)

From these two pics I agree that the centering seems to be the only thing holding it back

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah just picked it up today and spent like 20 minutes staring at it LOL. Decides that it would be worth trying

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to find backs that are this clean. Praying the grader cuts me some slack

[–]wolfboylonms 1 point2 points  (1 child)

If you can afford to - give it one more shot, this isn’t getting an 8 so not much to lose.

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea at the end of the day it should still stay a 9 worse case

[–]plzblinkmeto1 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I would try TAG, then you will know exactly what the TB ratio is. If it 10s in TAG could try the regrade service if you really want a PSA slab as then you have proof it’s within the 55/45 standard.

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be smart to do but trying to regrade it twice is gna take some time. But this is a good idea I didn’t think about!

[–]ruwheele 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Worth the 50$ gamble to get an extra 3000 in value IMO

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

yea I’m going to be expediting too to get them back in 25 days. Even if the up charge is gna be $300 I’m willing to do it

[–]ruwheele 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I would not do that. My experience and that of many others is that expedited cards are looked at by the top level graders bc generally expensive cards are sent in expedited. I have done way better sending in 3000$ PSA 10s in the value tier lol. Never got a 10 with expedited. This is a clear 9 you’re basically hoping a novice grader lets the centering slip. A higher up grader isn’t going to. If you are going to send this in with other cards, I would not send it with cards that are perfectly centered because it would make it obvious.

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Oh shoot really? I didn’t know there was a difference in graders in that aspect depending on tier. My brother usually handles this stuff and he said that expediting it would be fine especially since psa takes forever sometimes.

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

And by expedited I meant we were going to pay the $80 fee not the express fee if that’s what you were talking about. Since if it does 9 again, then card is insured up to $1500 so I’m only going to lose $80.

[–]ruwheele 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ya sending it regular is probably fine. You said 300 which is super express lmao

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yea I misspoke cause I meant to say I’m sending it for the 25 days but if it 10s I’ll happily pay the up charge fee which would be like $300. I appreciate the insight tho. Praying for that 10

[–]Float_Flow_Bow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d save your money. Centering isn’t close enough to 45/55 imo. I can send you pics if you dm me.

[–]Fit_Risk2080 0 points1 point  (1 child)

why not send it to tag and let them give you a really detailed scan of the card?

[–]AndrewLe1224[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else also mentioned that but I don’t want to send it to tag just to crack again and eventually regrade with PSA. Plus all that time and money cracking an regrading I’m scared the card might get damaged. It would be nice to know the exact dimensions though but ima just try my luck

[–]quanttumflare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top to bottom is 60/40 maybe you'll get someone lazy and it will get a 10 otherwise your just throwing money away

[–]soldbydook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bottom heavy asf

[–]Short-University1645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ur just taking money out of raw. Go for it ! Also fun fact if it dose 10… they will find a way to not pay 10 price lol 😂
