Recent Sales
Recent ungraded sales for this Japanese version range from $12 to $18 depending on surface scratches. PSA 8/9 copies have sold between $60 and $100 recientemente.
Condition Details
Moderate edge wear and silvering on the front edges. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left. Significant surface scratching is visible on the holofoil area. Corners show minor whitening.
Grading Recommendation
Likely not worth grading for profit given the visible surface scratches and edge wear, which would likely cap the grade at a PSA 6 or 7. Personal collection grading only.
