How would PSA graders handle this?

Good afternoon fellas. I'm preparing a large bulk submission of 1980 Topps baseball to send in this month under a collector's club special and this will be my first submission. I've been doing pretty good busting rack packs of this and I have one question. I have a Ron Guidry/J.R. Richard #207 ERA Leaders card and towards the bottom right of the card there are 2 minor lines in the border of the card. How would the graders handle that? I know that a PSA 10 allows for one minor print imperfection but I haven't seen this yet on any of the other cards I'm going to sub. It's not a wrinkle and it's not a scratch. It's barely noticeable by the naked eye as I used a loupe to find it. I would scan it but I don't even think it would show up. It pretty much blends in with the white border so not sure what they would do about that. Any thoughts appreciated thanks guys.

    If you need a loupe to see it, I would say could still be a 10. If you could see it without the loupe, probably a 9. Without seeing a scan, that'd be my guess.

    I'm trying to post a scan I just joined photobucket and trying to figure out how to post images. I've already scanned the card and the scan came out good but trying to figure out hot to make images appear on here. Still a rookie with this stuff and I have an apple computer.

    To the right of the photo, you should see something that says IMG CODE. Click on the link. It makes a copy when you click it and paste the link to your message. The image will appear in the message when you post.

    On photobucket copy the link to the image at "links to share this photo. Move cursor over the "direct" link and click. You should see it display briefly "copied".

    on here click on the little thingy that looks like a picture frame

    paste link you copied on photobucket into the opened picture frame thingy and click ok.

    You'll see the text between brackets. Hit post message and the picture should display.

    Or do what Nikklos said while I was slowly typing out my message.

    The 2 lines I was referring to earlier are right under and in between the "K" and "Y" and one more under the "N" in Yankees. The dirtyness in the top left of the card must be from my scanner as the card itself doesn't have this. Thanks for the help Nikklos and Dennis it's appreciated.

    I can't see anything wrong with the bottom area you described, but the area around the 1979 at the top left looks problematic.

    A suggestion for scanning, try scanning white bordered cards with the lid up.

    Good luck on getting the grade you want!
