Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent-Mint (EX-MT 6)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.50 - $2.00; Graded PSA 10: $20.00 - $35.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $1 to $3. High-grade (PSA 10) copies occasionally sell for $25+ due to player popularity and condition sensitivity of black borders.
Condition Details
Moderate corner wear visible on bottom corners; centering appears slightly shifted to the left; surface appears clean but minor edge chipping is visible along the black borders.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The current market value for a raw copy is low, and the costs of grading would likely exceed the final value of the card unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint, which this specimen is not due to visible corner wear.
