Condition Details
Moderate edge chipping and whitening visible on the top and left borders; slight corner softening on the bottom-right; surface shows potential light scratches; centering appears slightly shifted towards the bottom edge.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card shows visible edge wear and whitening that would likely result in a grade of 6 or 7. The cost of modern grading outweighs the potential market value for this specific non-rare insert.
