$5.00 - $15.00 (Raw); $60.00 - $100.00 (PSA 10)
Recent Sales

Condition Details
The card appears well-centered with sharp corners visible through the sleeve. Surface shows minor light reflections which likely indicate slight scuffing on the soft sleeve rather than the card. No visible edge whitening or creases.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if the card is perfectly flawless to chase a PSA 10. For a base second-year card, the cost of grading often exceeds the value of a 9 or lower grade.
