Condition Details
Centering is shifted heavily to the right. Edges show visible chipping and wear. Corners are soft and worn, particularly the bottom corners. There is a visible print defect or surface scuff on the top border and minor surface wear throughout.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Given the heavy right-side centering shift and soft corners, this card would likely grade in the PSA 3-4 range. The cost of third-party grading would likely exceed the final market value of the slabbed card.
