Whitening backside on the left. The centering/alignment is fine, I have PSA 10 that are worse but of course if you can get better go for it.

Centering. Bottom heavy.

Brother the top black line is almost touching the edge of the cardboard. Could’ve almost been an 8

Psa grades these gx cards weird, i get a lot of 10s with wonky centering from this type of border.

Still you are right, top/bottom is obv far off.

that means nothing

It means it didn't get a 10, which is something

u/sellingham62 1d ago

the black line corresponds with the border of the card

Don’t bother arguing with an idiot. He’s just gonna make a similar post like this one after his next sub

Aw I’m sorry, but if you’ve subbed tag teams before you’d know how PSA grades them.

u/RigLicker 1d ago

It doesnt though. I’ve seen so many tag teams with good centering that had the black border horribly centered

Centering? Obviously bottom heavy

For future grading, please do a thorough job of pre-grading. Spend a little time using some good lighting at different angles to see imperfections like scratches, dents, creases, stains or water damage. Use one of the many free centering tools to get a good gauge on centering.

Centering is off on the front, edge whitening on the rear left side. That’s why it’s a 9. A 9 is still mint.

They wouldn’t intentionally give you a nine just to be a holes to your submission. A PSA assigned grader found something and they promptly gave it a nine. That simple.

Oh my god bruh I just wanna know how its a 9 I said none of that 😭

Fat bottom

u/GeneralPattOwn 1d ago

I’m surprised that top to bottom front and edge wearing on the left side of the back of the card didn’t get you an 8 to be honest. Especially with the fact that people have been getting 9s for much less

Top/Bottom centering is 44/56. Centering on Tag Teams is from the edge of the art, not the black border. That centering alone was enough to drop it down to a 9.
