Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 8 (NM-MT). The centering looks decent, but thick-stock cards like Triple Threads are notorious for corner chipping and white edges. The sticker autograph is well-placed, and the foil surface shows standard light scratching.

Flaws to Note
Visible softening on the bottom-right corner; common minor surface scratches on the foil; characteristic white 'snowing' or chipping on the thick card edges.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading will likely exceed the value added. Use a 130pt top loader for shipping to accommodate the thickness. Keywords: Justin Upton, Atlanta Braves, Auto, Relic, /75, Triple Threads.
