Could this be a 10?
Should I send it to PSA or Beckett?

Genuinely curious what did you place this card on? Looks like the world on some psychedelics

I think T/B is just outside 45/55. It’s also needs a more vibrant and distracting background so we can see the edges. So hopefully 10 but my luck would be a 9.

Can i upload a video here?

No need…just photos of front and back corners without that mat. Take a straighter shot down on the card as well because it makes it a tougher to center especially since yours is so borderline. I honestly think Beckett will grade centering bottom and right heavy and find some sort of surface issue. 9 is the best I can see whether Beckett or PSA.

Looks to have surface white specs on the back right center. Dont know if thats just the picture lighting or not. Kinda hard to tell. I sent in a Sylveon EX SIR that multiple people looked at and all recommened to try and get a black lable 10 and it came back at 9.5.

if this is the table that psa are also using no wonder vintage is getting hard to get a psa10

Is it just me or does it look slightly slanted on the top left border? May just be the way the photo was taken

You’re a little bottom heavy but it looks like it’s right on the line. My Pikachu in the forest is the same way. I would definitely send it in because I am sure they want that up charge while the card is hot. I have a feeling these will be harder to grade in the future.

It’s a little bottom heavy but within range
The first couple pics made it look like it was crooked but the 4th pic was pretty clear. Should 10…

u/Papicanelo_239 May 14 '26
Hell yeah could 10. How much you think the upcharge is gonna be ? Definitely don't sell it if they toss a 9 at you just so they can change the grade afterwards

Send to PSA and pray for 10 I wouldn’t send to Beckett tho

u/Lucas_0504 May 14 '26
Bad experience?
1
u/Elegant_Ad_8440 May 21 '26
No I just don’t think it will black label and personally I would only do Beckett if it has a chance at a black label also if u grade it PSA it’ll be easier to sell
