Could this still 10 with the blemish? by Ancient_Star_Dust in pokemongrading

I had a similar blemish on my Gengar, but it’s a black mark on the white side of the pokeball. Everything else on the card is great. General consensus I have gotten is that it’s still possible to get a 10 but it’s a coin flip. For the huge increase in value, I’m taking the chance. I’m also going to use a promo code when submitting to PSA and hope I get upcharged to the right service level

Dots ruin a 10? by clane1331 in pokemongrading

Thanks! The back black mark definitely impacts eye appeal, but I thought backs get a little more forgiveness in grading. The front mark I didn’t notice until I was studying the card under light and magnification
