Need help on estimating grade & determing if it makes financial sense

Hello folks, first post here.

To make this short and simple, I have this very clean 1st edition Sabrina’s Gengar, of which I am thinking about grading. I have had plenty of slabs and do believe I have a good eye when it comes to estimating grades, but I wanted to ask for more experienced opinions given the possibly financial value of this in a 10. Based on the pictures, what would you estimate that it came back as if I were to send it to PSA, and whether I should sub it or not.

I don’t grade myself, but I would take these holo scratches into consideration before sending it in

I’d say its a definite 9 and has a good shot at a 10

Famous last words!

Even as a 9, which I think it has a good shot at, it’ll definitely raise the value of the card. If youre selling it’s worth grading and you might even get lucky with a 10.

Yes I would submit it in Bulk tier.

I think I have said too many last words :skull_and_crossbones:

This would almost certainly not receive a PSA 10 because of the light surface scratching and/or print lines. If you could, please use a bright LED light and take pictures of the holo surface at an angle. That will help us better determine how significant the scratches are. Regardless, I would still recommend grading it.

Here’s my PSA 9 for comparison :purple_heart::

Thank you so much for the advice. I did notice the holo scratches, which I am a bit worried about.
