Condition Details
Top-to-bottom and left-to-right centering is slightly off-center (approx 45/55 to 40/60). Minor softness/touch on the top-left and bottom-left corners. Edges are clean with slight vintage cardboard fuzziness.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it can guarantee a PSA 9 or 10. Due to slight corner wear and minor off-centering, this copy would likely receive a PSA 7 or 8, where grading fees outweigh market value gain.
