Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this card in similar condition range from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. PSA 10 gem mint copies sell for $100-$150, but this card does not qualify for that tier.
Condition Details
Visible corner wear and rounding on all four corners; significant edge whitening along the right black border; surface stains/spots near the right edge of the white banner; centered slightly toward the bottom-left.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading ($19-$25+) far exceed the market value of the card in this specific condition (estimated Grade 4 or 5).
