Condition Details
Front centering is slightly top-heavy. Edges and corners appear sharp with no visible whitening from the front view. Surface shows clean holofoil with minimal to no scratching visible under standard lighting.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if the back is as clean as the front. It appears to be a strong candidate for a PSA 9 or 10, which significantly increases the value over a raw copy.
