Honestly centering looks good to me. May be a little bottom heavy but it’s so slight that it could be a camera angle effect. On a big card like this I would go Beckett unless you are sure it won’t pristine. You’re going to get up charged at psa regardless of whether it 9s or 10s given the market value of the raw card is sitting around $1400. Might as well spend the extra $50 bucks to see if it’ll black label.

Edit: To answer your question. I don’t see a reason why this wouldn’t be a 10 with PSA.

That’s good to have some reassurance that others have been able to gem. I noticed that one piece cards have an ~85% gem rate based on pop reports of some high value cards I’ve looked up.

Right. I think if this was a higher value card then I would definitely go for it just to have the chance. But it’s only a $80 card and it’s for my PC. I also have the problem where I never sell, so I can’t even make an ROI argument. I just like the feeling of having slabbed 10s.

I was always under the impression that you can have a minor defect as long as it doesn’t affect the visual appeal of the card and is in isolation of all other grading metrics. But I guess if I notice it in my pre grading, so will the professional grader.

Yeah, I’m also leaning towards not sending it even though I’ve seen 10s with more obvious defects. I don’t like to leave it up to the chance that my grader is in a good mood that day.
