FYI.. Thats not his rookie. It is a reprint hence the gold stamp in the lower left corner.

In any case, the card's T-B centering will keep it from a 10. Looks like a nice 9 to me!

L/R centering isn't too hot either..

Simply put, L-R centering meets PSA 10 criteria while T-B does not. Hence my post...

I disagree. PSA 9, yes, not a 10.

Looks to me like the top-bottom is actually close to 50-50 (maybe 55-45), if you go by the ball at the top and not the line... but, yeah, left-right is off.

FastWillie--I don't know if your scanner has a quality setting or a dots per inch setting (DPI), but you should probably try to scan at 150 or 300 DPI if you want people to comment on potential grades. That way details such as corners and chipping are easier to see... the sort of things that a PSA grader will definitely see under 10X magnification.

Also, if you can crop the image so that so much of the scanner bed isn't showing... that'd keep the file sizes smaller.
