Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20 USD; Graded (PSA 9/10): $30 - $80 USD
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar Near Mint condition have traded consistently within the $12 to $18 range on online marketplaces.
Condition Details
Front centering looks relatively well-balanced with minor shifts to the left border, corners appear sharp, minimal to no surface scratches visible under the current lighting, and edges show clean cuts with negligible whitening.
Grading Recommendation
Worth considering for grading if surface and back condition are pristine, as a PSA 10 would yield a solid premium over the raw price.
