Condition Details
The card exhibits slightly off-center top-to-bottom margins, minor corner softness on the top-left and bottom-left, along with clean surface colors and solid edges overall.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it is in absolute Gem Mint condition. Given the slight centering offset and minor corner touch, it likely grades NM-MT 8 or below, which would not offset grading fees.
