Grading notes for Evolving Skies
Alt arts have textured foil — micro-scratches and print lines are the biggest PSA 10 killers. CGC 10 Pristine sometimes trades within 5–15% of PSA 10 for Moonbreon, so consider CGC for faster turnaround. Always inspect the back — Evolving Skies backs are prone to indents from the pack.
