Is an GA 9 at least PSA 8 ?

What could l hope for in a crossover , and what is reasonable.An 8 would make it worthwhile.

    I am not a pack grading expert but based on the centering (I know they are more lenient with packs than cards) and staining on the wrapper I would be surprised if it received a PSA 8. Maybe it is just the scan but it looks like some staining starting at the 4 g and moving up to the stick. I am sure Tim (Grote) can chime in with some more accurate info. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with whatever you decide.

    For the sake of completion, could you post the scan of the back too?

    You are also running the risk of it not grading.

    I think you have a decent shot at crossing to a PSA 8 as long as there are no tears or holes on the corners, though the staining on the front may drop it to a PSA 7. A back scan would help, too. I have crossed a number of GAI packs to PSA and the average is usually a grade lower with PSA but I am picky about what I choose to submit. Wax is definitely tougher than cello, in general.

    Back is nice and clean. I think you have a good chance at an 8 as long as corners are good. Worth a shot at least, imo.

    Aaaahhhh, just crack it open and pull out a mint Gretzky!

    No, seriously, that’s a sweet looking wax pack. Good luck.
