Condition Details
Observed through top-loader; centering appears slightly shifted to the right. Corners through plastic look sharp but minor edge wear is possible. Blurred image prevents surface scratch identification.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if intending to keep for personal collection or if the card appears flawless for a PSA 10 shot; overall value increase may not cover grading fees for a base version of this specific non-Panini release.
