Tricky Pringles Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Hello there! I've never sent anything for grading, but I planned it in the near future. I just got a kenobi 1:25 variant, it's brand new, but the rear cover has this color defect (also the top left corner is bended / creased a bit, whatever). Everything else looks perfect to me. Is it worth to send it for grading, or will these defects drop it way below 9.6? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
