Condition Details
The card shows excellent surface quality. Centering appears slightly shifted towards the top/right. Edges look crisp with no visible whitening from the front view, though corners show very minor softening consistent with age.
Grading Recommendation
Potential candidate for grading if the back is as clean as the front. Likely to receive an 8 or 9. Only worth grading for personal collection or if it appears to be a flawless 10, as the value increase for lower grades is marginal compared to grading fees.

Authentication Notes
The font, color saturation, and layout are consistent with authentic 1996 Media Factory Japanese prints. The glossy finish and border thickness appear correct for the era.
