Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Lightly Played (LP) to Moderately Played (MP)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30.00 - $45.00 (based on LP/MP condition); PSA 10: $160.00+
Recent Sales
Near Mint copies sell for approximately $45-$55; Lightly Played copies typically sell for $30-$38.
Condition Details
Moderate whitening on the right corners and edges; visible surface wear/scuffs; centering appears slightly bottom-heavy; card is being handled without a protective sleeve which indicates potential micro-scratching.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading in its current state. The visible edge wear and whitening would likely result in a grade of PSA 6 or 7, which is worth less than a raw Near Mint copy.
