Condition Details

Grading Recommendation
Not worth regrading with a major tier-one grading company (PSA, BGS, SGC) since the cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card in this grade.

Encapsulated and graded by Golden Grading, a secondary grading service. The slab appears secure, but the grading company holds lesser market recognition compared to PSA, BGS, or SGC.
