Condition Details
Visible corner softening on the top right and bottom left. Minor edge chipping seen along the right border. Surface shows light holographic scratching potential due to foil-heavy design.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The market value for Saku Koivu non-rookie inserts is relatively low, and the grading fees would exceed the potential value increase unless the card were a guaranteed Gem Mint 10.
