Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $25.00 - $35.00; Graded (PSA 10): $80.00 - $110.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales on eBay and TCGPlayer range from $24 to $32. PSA 10 copies have recently settled around the $90 mark.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy on the bottom and right borders. No visible edge whitening or surface scratches from the image, though surface textures can hide minor lines without closer inspection.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate recommendation. It is a highly playable card in the competitive meta and a top-tier chase card for the set. Due to centering, it may likely receive a PSA 9, which often sells for close to raw price, making grading only profitable if aiming for a Gem Mint 10.
