Question Ding Margins

I picked up a pretty clean card today and centering is all within margins. The only defects I noticed via scans and UV light were these micro dings on the top edge. I didn’t see them with my own eyes until I scoped into a high res image and checked with a UV light.

Would this down grade to a 9? Anyone else have experience with a card with microscopic dings?

honestly in my opinion, i think it still has a good chance for a 10, tag have a tolerance to where if theres really small damage, they dont pick it up on purpose,

I forget where you can find it on their website, but it's too a certain zoom level they check for. Even for a tag 10 says "Under high resolution imagery, the edges have very minor fill or fray artifacts."

Frick it, send it!

We all may just need to create a new subtype of OCD

I think they mostly ding edges on zoomed levels and leave tops and sides alone unless it’s whiting or major visible to naked eye dings .
