Condition Details
The card appears to have slightly off-center left-to-right alignment. Surface shows some potential minor smudging or fingerprints from handling without gloves. Corners appear sharp, but there is noticeable edge glare which may mask minor chipping.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for low-tier grading. While Skubal is a top-tier pitcher, this specific RayWave parallel is relatively common. Unless the card is a guaranteed PSA 10, the grading fees would likely exceed the value increase.
