The card appears to be in excellent condition within a protective top-loader. Centering is quite good, corners appear sharp, and no surface scratches are visible on the card itself.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless sentimental. As a modern insert with a high population and low market value, the cost of grading (typically $19-$25) would likely exceed the card's final market value.
