Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5-$10; Graded PSA 10: $40-$55
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this base card consistently fall in the $5 to $12 range including shipping. Gem Mint graded copies have seen a decline but remain around $50.
Condition Details
The card is housed in a top loader which may obscure some surface details. Centering appears slightly shifted towards the right. Corners and edges through the holder look sharp, though typical chrome stocks are prone to surface dimples or light scratches not visible in low lighting.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended. As a base card from a modern high-print set, the cost of grading ($19-$25) plus shipping often exceeds the value of the card unless it is guaranteed to return a PSA 10. Only grade if for a personal collection (PC).
