Common mistakes
There are multiple Magikarp cards; match the 203/193 Illustration Rare specifically. Modern surfaces mark easily, so inspect before assuming gem condition.
Grade considerations
Modern centering standards are strict, and PSA 10 rates on Illustration Rares run lower than collectors expect. Centering and edge whitening are the usual 10-blockers.
