Condition Details
Card is enclosed in a toploader, making microscopic inspection difficult. From what is visible through the plastic, centering appears reasonably well-balanced, corners look sharp, and edges are clean with no obvious whitening. Surface shows typical Topps Chrome refractor sheen without major scratches, though minor surface impressions cannot be ruled out without a loose examination.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended for professional grading (such as PSA or SGC) only if the surface and corners are pristine under 10x magnification, as a PSA 10 will command a solid premium over raw value. If minor flaws exist, grading costs may outweigh the financial return.
