🔍 Before You Submit — Check Your Card

The math might say grade it — but your specific card has to hold up. Check off any issues you notice. PSA 10 requires near-perfect scores across every category.

Centering — front

Should be 60/40 or better. Measure the border width on each side.

Centering — back

Graders check both sides. Back is often worse than front.

Surface scratches

Hold the card at a 45° angle under a light. Even light scratches cost points.

Edge whitening

Check all 4 edges. White showing through the colored border = lowered grade.

Corner wear

Feel and look at all 4 corners. Fuzzing or dings will hurt your grade significantly.

Print defects

Ink lines, dots, or spots on the card face. Not your fault — but graders still penalize.

Staining or residue

Any discoloration, fingerprints, or sticky residue on the surface.

Looking clean — solid shot at a high grade.
