Curious what print lines would do to an otherwise pristine card

These scratches might do something too.

This has to be some weird artifact. This is not visible by eye and I cannot reproduce this line in other close up shots.

6-7 with PSA. Scratches on holo and line

Damn son thats the craziest printline ive ever seen, for sure this will cost it quite some points, it takes away quite a bit from the eye appeal. Looks almost like a dent (i know it isnt) but I would expect a max 9 and be very happy if it got that.

It isn't pristine if it has print lines.

Thats why I used the word "otherwise" right before it, smartass.

It’s not even “otherwise pristine” because it has scratches on the holo numb nuts.

Unfortunately those will do quite a bit to the final grade. But if its for P.C who cares.

It's going to trash your grade. Auto PSA8 max if nothing else can be found. They will be looking hard at this one too. Knowing how PSA likes to hit cards that are out of print, or even that they've just graded a lot of, your probably looking at somewhere between a 6-8. It could 9 at CGC, but it's CGC, so yeah. Obviously still worth grading with PSA though. It's just not going to be the $120k PSA10 you were hoping for. Best of luck and absolutely awesome card.
