Crossover to PSA 10? Yes or No? BGS 9.5 1996-97 Topps Chrome Refractors #138 Kobe Bryant

Please see the front and back side card scans below.

As you can see, the front side of the card is absolutely gorgeous. No flaws.

However, the back side appears to have undesirable centering. I viewed 40+ auctions for sale and sold of PSA 10 1996 Kobe Topps Chrome cards. Only 3 of the 40 PSA 10s that l found had centering similar to this one.

I reviewed the PSA 10 standards for back side centering. They state not to exceed 75/25 for back side centering. Using my trusty eye ball and BAK PRODUCTS LLC centering tool (plug), I calculated the centering on the back to be 63/37...so inside of the 72/25 standard for a 10.

Anyway, looking for board member opinions...does this cross to a PSA 10? Yes or no. And, if I am missing something other than back side centering, please inform me. Given it is now a $300 base fee for a crossover attempt at this card value level, I want to make sure a crossover attempt is worth it for this card.

Thank you
