Need another set of eyes, dent or print lines?

Re-used the thread since it was similar! Post down below!

Could you possibly highlight the ā€˜dentā€™ for us? Maybe I am blind too, but I cannot see what you describe.

Nevermind I opened the 3rd image. That looks like a bend in the corner to me.

I donā€™t know about the dent, but there are nics in the second picture. I wouldnā€™t recommend purchasing it if you are just looking to grade it, as Iā€™m sure you will be able to find another in better quality, unless its some super rare card.

I would echo the above. The whitening I see already makes it not a 10 candidate. If the rest of it was 100% mint it may be worth taking a chance, but this is clearly borderline 9/8 to begin with before we even get to the questionable corner. Also not sure what may be going on in the front. 9 is your absolute best case but if that is an actual dent/bend you are looking at PSA 6 tops.

Figured as much. Sometimes you keep seeing different things when looking at the pictures over and over. Was assuming a doubtful 9 if it wasnā€™t, most likely 6-7.

Thanks everyone!

The corner looks fine to me. Alot of the newer cards have that kind of corner where it looks like the corner is ā€œcurlingā€ up or whatever. From my experience, that usually doesnā€™t affect the grade, Iā€™ve scored a few 10s with corners like that. The problem here is the edgewear on the back. Iā€™m guessing a 9 or 8, assuming the front doesnā€™t have any major damage.

Agreed. Looks like a bend to me.

Corner doesnt look too bad but the edge is concerning

I have experienced pulling plenty of cards with the same kind of corners, it appears they sometimes come direct from the factory like that

Figured I would just re-use this thread, no sense in making another! Basically got this in the mail today and it looks absolutely amazing, besides centering and an issue I found. Havenā€™t had any experience with sending out cards to PSA in this condition and wondering if its worth itā€¦

This horizontal line only seen in direct light, but has no texture and does not show at all on the back. Thought maybe binder wear (it goes all the way across the card I THINK, but much less noticeable than the main spot 1 inch in)

Assuming no greater than a 6?

I canā€™t say for sure but the centering looks great on that card. Do you mean the horizontal line going through the bottom Water Energy symbol? It is likely due to storage but I suppose it could be a printing defect. Hard to tell.

I think that is just a printing line. Iā€™m pretty sure youā€™d get a 7 or so, but I have much less experience with this. I know Iā€™ve sent in a card that was otherwise pristine and had a defect like that and got an 8. This is only one case though so who knows. Iā€™m sure someone who has sent in more than a few of these will know for sure

Yeah, hard to tell one way or another, but I havenā€™t seen a print line like this before.
