Condition Details
Card appears to be in clean condition with no prominent creases, heavy scratches, or edge whitening visible from the front angle. Centering looks relatively well-balanced, though back side and micro-surface inspection would be needed to confirm a higher grade.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if corners, edges, and back surface are flawless. A PSA 10 or BGS 9.5/10 would yield a solid premium over raw value.
