Does anyone believe this Gretzky RC is undergraded?

    No, not really IMO

    Very nice surface and corners, but thin on bottom border and left border limits the card’s overall registry & eye appeal

    Looks like an appropriately graded card to me. Must fall just outside of a 8 centering wise. Would be a 9 OC or a 7. I think the razor sharp corners and edges give it the bump.

    I'll say that I am not wild about top right corner - I wouldn't crack it to resub.

    Are you seeing a crease there or the bat wing?

    I really don’t think the centering is the issue. Several of the corners show a hint of color loss. I know nothing about this issue, but if it is treated anything like ‘71 baseball the corners could be responsible.

    Bat wing/wavy cut is what troubled me - at least from this scan.

    Looks trimmed. That left edge is razor smooth. It's not even squared in the holder. Left edge and bottom edge sits perfect against the holder walls. Right edge has a skewed gap.

    Definitely not the centering. The front looks pretty easy 60/40 all around.

    Lots of bears on this thread. I'm a bull. Thats a nice card. Might not get a bump to an 8 but you should be proud of it (assuming youre the owner).
