Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $60; Graded PSA 9: $100 - $150
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range between $35 and $55 depending on exact corner wear.
Condition Details
Slight corner softening and minor edge wear visible under closer inspection, but overall clean surfaces and decent centering.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if aiming for a PSA 9; given minor edge wear, a PSA 8 is likely, which may not yield significant profit after grading fees.
