Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $25; PSA 10: $500 - $700; PSA 9: $75 - $100
Recent Sales
Recent 2024 sales for raw copies range from $15 to $35 on eBay. Graded PSA 9 copies have recently settled around $85, while PSA 10s command a significant premium due to the card's sensitivity to edge wear.
Condition Details
The card shows decent centering. There is evidence of minor whitening on the corners and edges common for this 1993 card stock. The top-loader appears slightly scratched, but the card surface seems mostly clean other than potential micro-scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if the card is under a high-power loupe and appears flawlessly centered with zero edge whitening. Because this is a high-population card, only a PSA 10 provides a significant return on investment.
