I thought this had a 2% chance at a 10, but most likely a 9. But I wondered if I could stack heavy books with the card in a book to fix the lip on the corner. Also, I wasn’t sure if the scratches on the back were print lines or just scratches. But I feel like this would most likely get a 9 just wanted to know if the scratches affect the grading and if the lip is fixable. Appreciate it
Those look like scratches and the bottom corner looks to be peeling? That corner does not look fixable (from what I am seeing) and I would not imagine this card getting close to a 10 unfortunately

it’s not a peel tho, it’s just a lifted a little
a dent*
Likely an 8 with the back scratch.
I have a shadowless 8 zam that had something similar grade an 8. Sent it to BGS 9.5/9.5/9.5/8.5 (surface)
Corner lips that small/subtle are very difficult to alter. From a grading perspective, print lines or scratches would result in the same outcome, which is a lower grade due to surface damage. I would expect a 7 or 8 on this card given the corner lip.
