Recent Sales

Condition Details
Left-to-right centering is slightly offset (heavier on the left border), top-to-bottom centering is relatively good. Corners show minor softness at the tips, particularly top left. Edges are clean with slight factory rough cut.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended to grade unless aimed for personal collection. Due to grading costs ($15-$25/card) and the abundance of this card in high grade, ROI is low for an estimated PSA 7 or 8.
