CONDITION & GRADE

PSA 9-10

Grading breakdown

Visual evidence supports the user's 'Mint' claim; the card shows no visible whitening on the edges or surface scratching, though the bottom-heavy centering likely prevents a 'Black Label' or perfect 10 subgrade.

Condition

The card exhibits sharp corners and clean edges in the provided images. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the bottom border on the front face. Surface luster is consistent with a pack-fresh state.
