Recent eBay sales for raw copies have ranged from $2.50 to $7.00 depending on shipping. Higher values are seen for bulk lots or pristine PSA 10 examples.
Condition Details
Generally clean edges and corners; centering appears slightly shifted toward the top-right; high-gloss surface may have micro-scratches typical of prism-style finishes; some minor whitening on the bottom right corner tip.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading typically exceeds the market value of a modern non-numbered insert unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint 10 for a personal collection.
