Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $10; PSA 8: $40 - $60; PSA 9: $200+
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $5; PSA 8 copies have recently sold for $45-$55; PSA 9 copies are rare and command high premiums.
Condition Details
Centering is shifted slightly toward the right (approximately 60/40 or 65/35). Edges appear clean on the front. Bottom right corner shows a very minor touch of wear. Surface has good gloss and color vibrancy.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate. If it grades an 8 or higher, it is worth the submission cost. The visible centering issue likely caps it at a 7 or 8, making it a border-line candidate for profit.
