Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $25 - $35; Graded PSA 10: $90 - $110
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $22 to $38 depending on centering and surface condition. PSA 10 copies have recently settled around $100.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy on the right border. Surface looks clean with standard holofoil sheen. Corners and edges show no visible whitening from the front view.
Grading Recommendation
Possibly worth grading if the back is flawless. The centering on the front borders may prevent a Gem Mint 10, likely making it a PSA 9. Given the current value, grading is recommended only for personal collection or if seeking a guaranteed Gem Mint premium.
