Recent Sales
Consistently selling on eBay and COMC between $2.00 and $7.50 depending on shipping costs. Graded PSA 10 versions have reached $45 in recent auctions.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted to the left and bottom; bottom right corner shows minor rounding; surface appears clean with typical foil indentation texture.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless you believe it is a flawless PSA 10. The high population of this insert and relatively low market value for raw copies make the grading fees exceed the potential return for lower grades.
