Is a Lillard Prizm rookie a PSA 10?

About the Lillard Prizm rookie

The 2012-13 Panini Prizm Damian Lillard RC #245 is a 2012 Basketball card from the modern era. Early Prizm cards have soft factory cuts — edges often grade worse than corners.

What graders look for

Every grading company — PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC — uses the same four sub-scores: centering, corners, edges, and surface. On this card specifically, watch for:

• Rough factory edges
• Corner dings
• Surface scratches
• Minor centering issues

Pro tip

Edge inspection is the key to this era of Prizm. Run your fingernail along all four edges — any roughness drops your grade.

Should you send it in?

Before paying grading fees, scan the card with ID Grader to get an instant AI pre-grade across all four sub-scores. If the pre-grade comes back a confident 9.5 or 10, you probably have a submission candidate. If it comes back an 8 with any sub-score below a 9, you likely do better selling the card raw.
