Condition Grade
The card is in Very Good (VG) condition. Here is a breakdown of the condition factors:
- Centering: The centering is noticeably off. On the front, the white border on the left is significantly wider than the one on the right. The top border also appears wider than the bottom border. This off-centering is a major flaw that lowers the card's grade.
- Corners: All four corners show significant wear. They are rounded, blunted, and have noticeable fraying. This is the most prominent sign of wear and tear, consistent with a card that has been handled without a protective sleeve.
- Surface: The surface on both the front and back seems relatively clean, without any major creases or stains visible in the photos. However, the surface may have minor scuffs or scratches that are not apparent from the images.
- Edges: The edges show wear and chipping, particularly on the bottom and right side, which is consistent with the condition of the corners.
