Collector details and PSA 10 grading

PSA 10 (Gem Mint) is the highest grade at PSA and means the card appears flawless on both front and back. PSA’s ultrasonic-sealed slab protects the card from wear and environmental effects, ensuring long-term preservation and authenticity. This makes the card particularly relevant for slab collectors and registry sets where condition and verification are crucial.
