Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy to the right. Visible edge wear and minor chipping along the left and bottom edges. Some softening on the bottom left corner. Surface shows typical foil scuffing.
Grading Recommendation
Condition issues on the edges and corners suggest a grade around 7 or 8. Unless the card is likely to hit a PSA 9 or 10, the cost of grading may exceed the value increase. Recommendation is to keep raw for a personal collection.
