Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good-Excellent (VG-EX 4)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.50 - $2.00; Graded PSA 8: $20 - $30; Graded PSA 10: $150+
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for less than $3 in bulk lots. PSA 9 examples have recently sold in the $40-$60 range on eBay.
Condition Details
Observed significant surface staining or foxing on the right white border; centering is shifted slightly towards the right and bottom; corners show visible softening; edges show minor chipping typical of age.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading in its current state due to visible surface staining and corner wear. The cost of grading would exceed the market value of a VG-EX specimen.
