Condition Details
Visible chipping and whitening along the left and right edges. Minor softening on corners. The bottom right corner has a small notch/ding. Centering appears slightly shifted to the left.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is a common from a high-production era (junk wax period), and the visible edge wear would result in a low grade. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card.
