Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $25, Graded PSA 8: $40 - $60, Graded PSA 9: $100 - $150
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies on eBay have sold between $12 and $20 depending on condition. PSA 7 and PSA 8 examples regularly trade within their historical averages.
Condition Details
Slight corner wear and minor edge chipping visible on the top and right borders. Centering appears slightly heavy on the right side.
Grading Recommendation
Grading is recommended only if the surface and back of the card are pristine, as a grade of PSA 8 or higher would justify the cost. However, if minor edge and corner wear extend to the back, it may only grade a 6, making professional grading economically borderline.
