Notable left-to-right off-centering (heavy towards the right edge). Minor surface scratches on the protective top loader (card itself appears clean).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction or Buy It Now), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or in a vintage bulk lot.
Selling Tips
Due to off-centering, grading is not economically viable unless aiming for a PSA 9 or 10, which this card likely will not achieve. Best sold raw via eBay standard envelope.
