Would you call this a weak or average PSA 10?

Just picked up a pretty expensive card, happy with the front apart from a small issue in the last two pictures but have a look at the back and let me know what you think of the whitening? All pic with extra close up corner pics, imgur.com/a/Mi1qVND

One more image of the back,

Note on the pictures of the corners in the album link there are a lot of scratches but this is all on the case, the last two images are just trying to showcase a black dot on the face of the card on the border otherwise I would say the front is pristine and perfect to the eye. On the back my eye will catch the top middle area of the card in harsh lighting otherwise you can’t see the whitening. But I would like to know what others think and if the pictures are no good I can try to add more if you need a better look at something.

Looks pretty average to me, you zoomed in pretty far to see those defects.

I don’t have a lot of experience in PSA cards. I added the first picture to this post to show how the card looks to the eye without much scrutiny and the rest are with a flash kind of exposing the slight whitening more directly. I understand some imperfections are allowed but wasn’t sure if this was a big problem or not.

Yea I agree with average PSA 10

Looks more like an average 9 to me back whitening wise but I’m not a professional grading service. If the rest of the card was absolutely immaculate and perfectly centered then perhaps it is just a weak 10.

I’d sell it and buy 3-10 clean 9’s depending on what it is.
