Condition Details
Card shows heavy top-to-bottom centering bias. Top corners appear slightly soft. Surface shows potential minor scuffing typical of matte-finish Gallery cards.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for value maximization due to the poor centering and corner wear visible. The cost of grading would likely exceed the value increase for a sub-8 grade.
