Condition Details
Card is encased in a protective top loader. Centering is slightly off left-to-right (roughly 55/45 to 60/40). Corners appear sharp, but there is handwritten pricing marker ($2-) directly on the top loader plastic rather than the card surface. Slight edge roughness consistent with 1988 Fleer production stock.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for submission unless exceptionally well-centered and guaranteed to achieve a PSA 10 gem mint grade, as standard grading fees will exceed the market value of raw or lower-graded copies.
