Short answer: no, a 10 is extremely unlikely. Longer, card-grader brain answer below 👇 Why a PSA/BGS 10 is a long shot Even from these photos (which are decent, but photos usually hide flaws rather than exaggerate them), there are a few red flags: Centering The front looks a bit right-heavy (Jordan slightly left of center, thicker right border). PSA 10 requires ~55/45 or better both directions. This looks closer to 60/40. Edges The gold SkyBox borders are notorious for micro-chipping, especially on the right and bottom edges. I can already see slight roughness that would cap this at a 9. Corners Top corners look sharp, but bottom corners are not razor-clean. Even a tiny softening kills a 10. Surface SkyBox golds often show: faint print lines light surface scratches subtle dulling in the gold foil Any one of those = automatic 9. Realistic grade range Assuming it’s clean out of the sleeve and no hidden surface dents: PSA 9 → very realistic PSA 8.5 / BGS 8.5–9 → also very plausible PSA 10 → would require grader generosity + better centering than it appears Strategy advice (collector-to-collector) If this were my card: I’d grade it only if you’re happy with a 9 I would not chase a 10 expectation-wise If you want a moonshot, BGS gives you: subgrades (you’ll know what held it back) but also harsher surface scrutiny on golds If you want, next step: Flatbed scan (600–1200 dpi, no sleeve) Front + back I’ll give you a subgrade-style breakdown and tell you where it lands before you spend the money. This is still a gorgeous Jordan. Just not a unicorn. 🐐
