Condition Details
Noticeable corner rounding, edge chipping and whitening along the black borders, especially at the top right and bottom corners. Surface shows minor wear consistent with age, but no major creases are immediately apparent from the front scan.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to the low market value of the player and condition, as grading fees would exceed the total value of the card.
