Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $6.00; PSA 10: $25.00 - $35.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range between $2.50 and $7.00 depending on condition. PSA 10 slabs have consistently sold for under $40.00.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted to the left and bottom. Top edges show minor texture inconsistencies. Standard surface holographics appear clean through the top loader.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for investment grading. The cost of professional grading (PSA/BGS) exceeds the raw market value, and the centering suggests it may not reach a Gem Mint 10 status.
