I've never submitted a pack before....

I've submitted oodles of cards, but never a pack. I have a 1988 Fleer basketball pack I am thinking of submitting. The gum slides around, and I thought PSA wouldn't slab packs unless the gum was stuck. Also, the bottom corners have some slight damage. What would these corners do to the grade. I would assume a fresh looking pack would probably get an 8. There also appears to be some dirt or stain on the upper right hand corner. This pack came out of a BBCE box recently. Any thoughts would be helpful.

    I actually would like BBCE to have an option to simply grade a pack as "authentic" since the number grade seems to only reflect the quality of the wrapper.

    Probably looking at a PSA 7 with that one. Broken gum is not really an issue anymore for getting a pack graded if it's authentic.
