Condition Details
Noticeable corner rounding, edge chipping and whitening, surface wear, and a prominent horizontal crease running across the middle area of the card.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection or authentication purposes, as the cost of grading will likely exceed the value added due to the heavy creasing and wear.
