Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
$0.50 - $2.00 (Raw), $15 - $25 (PSA 9), $50 - $100 (PSA 10)
Recent Sales
Raw copies consistently sell for under $1-$2 on eBay. PSA 9 copies average $15-$20, while PSA 10 copies occasionally fetch $50-$75 due to junk-wax era low gem rates.
Condition Details
The card is stored in a binder sleeve. Off-center slightly from left to right (thicker border on the left side). Minor soft cornering on the bottom-right and top-left corners visible. Border has light aging/yellowing.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Given grading fees ($15-$25+) and low raw value, it is not cost-effective unless it is guaranteed to be a pristine PSA 10.
