Condition Details
The card appears to be in excellent condition. Centering looks slightly top-heavy on the front. Corners and edges appear sharp without visible whitening from this angle. Surface shows clear holographic stars and no visible scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Highly Recommended. As the 'chase' card of the Silver Tempest set, a high grade significantly increases value. If the back is as clean as the front, it has a high chance at a PSA 9 or 10.
