Condition Details
Significant surface abrasions and scratches visible over the central image and borders. Noticeable edge wear on the right side. Centering appears slightly shifted to the right. Possible corner softening.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The visible surface damage and scratches would result in a very low technical grade, which would not exceed the cost of the grading service.
