Are you taking about the refractor line on left side of the card? If so, it will affect the surface grade but if you plan on keeping in your PC, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Yeah exactly. So you wouldn't grade it ?

I've had a few and never seen that. If you can plainly see it, I'd get a different one, but if it doesn't affect eye appeal, then who cares.

Not if you're expecting it to come back as a 9.5 or higher.

Other than refractor line that is quiet common in Bowman refractor cards the rest of the card looks pretty good so I don't think a 9.0 is out of the question.

Those 2002 Bowmans best are a good grade for 8.5. Very hard grades. I wouldn't fret and if you bought to grade do t expect anything above a 9

To echo some of the above....notoriously tough to grade set. Plus, the backs are often banged up.
