Condition Details
The card shows excellent centering from left to right and top to bottom. Corners appear sharp without visible whitening from the front. Surface quality looks clean with no obvious scratches or dents in the current lighting.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate recommendation. This card has high artistic appeal but lower market value than high-end chase cards. If it likely scores a 10, it is worth it for personal collection or a modest profit margin. For investment, the cost of grading covers a large portion of the potential 10 value.
