Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent-Mint (EX-MT 6)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.50 - $2.00; Graded PSA 10: $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies consistently fall in the $1 range. High-grade PSA 10 copies frequently sell for approximately $50 due to the high population and low rarity.
Condition Details
Visible centering issues with a heavy right-side bias. Edge wear and corner softening are visible through the top loader. The top loader itself is heavily yellowed and scratched, which may obscure surface conditions.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The centering is significantly off, likely limiting the grade to a PSA 6 or 7. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the expected grade.
