Slight corner softening on the top-left corner, minor edge wear along the borders from being kept in a binder pocket, and potential surface micro-scratches common with glossy 90s inserts.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or COMC are best suited for lower-value vintage/90s inserts due to the broad collector base looking to fill sets.
Selling Tips
Sell raw as a single or bundle it with other 93 Upper Deck inserts. Grading is generally not economically viable for this card given the low market value relative to grading fees. Ship securely in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a standard envelope (PWE) with tracking or a bubble mailer.
