Condition Details
Moderate top-heavy centering; minor whitening visible on the bottom edge and corners; slight surface wear likely from handling.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The grading fees (approx $15-$25) significantly exceed the market value of the card, and this copy has centering issues that would prevent a Gem Mint grade.
