Condition Details
Noticeable corner wear with rounding, chipping along the white borders, slight top-to-bottom centering shift favoring the top, and minor surface imperfections consistent with age.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to the low market value of the player and the moderate wear on corners and edges, which would likely result in a grade that does not cover grading costs.
