Condition Details
Significant surface scratching and etching visible on the metallic finish. Notable edge wear and chipping along the right-hand border and bottom edge. Distinct whitening and soft corners on all four corners.

Not recommended for grading. The low market value for a base veteran card combined with significant surface and edge wear would result in a low grade and a net financial loss after grading fees.
