Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
$3.00 - $8.00 (Raw); $25.00 - $45.00 (PSA 6-7 equivalent)
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies in similar mid-low grade range from $4 to $10. High-grade PSA 8 copies have sold for $100+.
Condition Details
Visible rounding and softening of all four corners. Notable creasing and chipping on the right edge near the bottom. Significant centering issues with a heavy top-to-bottom and left-to-right tilt. Minor surface scuffing and edge wear on the bottom left corner.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The centering and significant corner wear/creasing on the right edge would likely result in a grade of 3 or 4, where the grading fees would exceed the market value of the slabbed card.
