Condition & Value Assessment

Condition Grade

Near Mint (NM 7)

Estimated Market Value

Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; PSA 7: $10.00 - $15.00; PSA 8: $20.00 - $35.00; PSA 9: $75.00 - $120.00; PSA 10: $600.00 - $1,000.00+

Recent Sales

Raw copies consistently sell on eBay for $3 to $8 depending on centering. PSA 8 examples regularly fetch $25-$35, while PSA 9s sell around $80-$100.

Condition Details

The left-to-right centering is visibly off-center (heavier border on the left side). The top-to-bottom centering is relatively good. Corners show minor softness/wear particularly on the top-right and bottom-left tips. Edges are generally clean with very slight border roughness. The surface appears clean and free of major scratches, creases, or print spots.

Grading Recommendation

Grading is NOT recommended for this specific card due to noticeable off-center alignment (approximately 65/35 left-to-right). This would likely cap the grade at PSA 7 or PSA 8 (OC), making the cost of grading higher than the resulting market value.
