Condition Details
The card shows light edge wear and minor rounding on the bottom right corner. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left side. No major surface creases are visible from the image provided, though slight surface scuffs are common for this matte-finish set.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx. $15-$25) significantly exceeds the market value of the card. Mike Macfarlane was a solid MLB catcher but is not a Hall of Famer, meaning there is little premium for graded base cards.
