PSA pre-grade check — Pikachu Poncho Magikarp (150/XY-P) — PSA 9 candidate?

Hi everyone,

I’m considering sending this card to PSA and would appreciate some pre-grading feedback.

Card: Pikachu Poncho Magikarp – 150/XY-P (Japanese promo, 2015)

I’m aware PSA 10 is very unlikely due to minor edge issues, so my main question is whether you see this as a solid PSA 9 candidate or if there’s anything that could realistically push it down to an 8.

Photos include front/back and close-ups of corners and edges.
Main concern is slight whitening on the top edge.

Any input from people with experience grading poncho promos is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
