Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $1 to $3 on eBay. PSA 9 examples sell around $20 to $30, while PSA 10 gem mint copies command $150 to $200+.
Condition Details
Card shows good overall centering with slightly off-center left-to-right alignment. The blue striped borders on the sides show light chipping/whitening along the extreme edges, particularly on the left border. Corners appear sharp with minimal soft touches.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10 contender. Due to the dark blue paper borders, this set is notorious for edge chipping, making PSA 10s rare. A grade of PSA 8 or 9 would not cover the cost of grading fees.
