Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this card range from $0.99 for single cards to bulk lots where the individual value is pennies. Graded copies rarely appear as the cost of grading exceeds the market value.
Condition Details
Visible whitening on the top-left and top-right corners. Centering appears slightly shifted toward the top. Minor surface wear likely due to being handled without a sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading fee (approx. $19-$25) significantly outweighs the potential market value of the card, even in high grade. Only worth grading for personal sentimental value.
