Near Mint; minor surface scratches typical of foil-coated Match Attax cards; visible rainbow refractor effect appears clean.
Corner Condition
Bottom right corner shows minor whitening/rounding; top left appears sharp; bottom left has a slight soft spot.
Edge Condition
Excellent; minor chipping on the right vertical edge; typical for foil-on-cardstock production.
Print Quality
High-gloss foil finish with good color saturation; typical mass-production 'Match Attax' quality with slight alignment inconsistencies.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $15.00 USD (Raw); $30.00 - $50.00 (Graded Mint)
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard example for the set; centering is within the acceptable range for a gaming card set.
Authentication Tips
Verify the 'Topps' logo holographic shine and the specific texture of the card stock; modern fakes often lack the proper foil depth.
Grading Recommendation
Generally not recommended for high-tier grading (PSA/BGS) unless for personal collection, as the cost of grading exceeds market value.
Red Flags
Check for 'cut-outs' from promotional magazines which may have rougher edges than pack-pulled versions.
