Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2 - $5; PSA 9: $25 - $40; PSA 10: $250 - $400
Recent Sales
High volume of sales on eBay with raw copies selling for a few dollars. Graded Gem Mint copies command a significant premium due to the massive print run of the early 90s Junk Wax era.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted to the left (approx 60/40). Corners appear sharp, and edges look clean with no significant whitening visible from the front view. Surface reflects light cleanly, suggesting no major scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if it is a guaranteed PSA 10 candidate. Given the high supply and low raw value, the cost of grading (approx $20+) usually exceeds the value of an 8 or 9 grade.
