Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy towards the right. Minor edge wear visible on the bottom edge and top right corner. The surface appears clean, though common minor chipping can occur on colored Holiday card borders.
Grading Recommendation
Likely not worth grading for pure ROI. The cost of grading ($15-$25) plus shipping often equals or exceeds the raw value of this specific player's autograph in this set. Grading is recommended only for personal collection (PC) purposes or if it appears to be a flawless PSA 10 candidate.
