Default Should I get this graded? 2009 Chrome Mike Trout au
I'm debating if I should get Beckett to grade this. This would be an easy 9.5 overall if it weren't for the stupid factory scan lines (that are far too common with these Chrome cards). The centering on this is a 9.5 at least, as are the edges, and likely the corners.

Is there any way the surface grade on this card gets a 9? Or am I looking at an 8.5, meaning the overall grade is a 9?



I wish Topps exercised a little more quality control with their production, but what can you do?

I've actually considered selling this. I should be able to get at least $350 for it. Then I could just spend a few hundred out of pocket to get a nice 9.5 graded one. I think Trout is a future Hall of Famer, and I want to act soon.

Thanks for the input guys.
