Condition Details
The card exhibits decent centering slightly heavy to the left side. The top-right and bottom corners show minor soft wear. Edges appear reasonably clean, with the iconic woodgrain border remaining vibrant.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of submission far exceeds the card's market value, as Frank Wills was a journeyman pitcher and the 1987 Topps set was mass-produced during the junk wax era.
