Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 9 (Mint). The upper right corner appears sharp; centering on full-bleed photography is inherently difficult to judge but appears well-aligned at the name plate. The bottom edge is obscured by fingers, but no major chipping is visible on the top or left edges.

Key Features

Authenticity Confidence: High. Correct logo placement, matte/gloss finish typical of 2023 Stadium Club stock, and precise typography on name plate. This is not a frequently counterfeited card.
Flaws to Note
Possible surface scratching (common with high-gloss Stadium Club cards); edge white at the corners is a frequent issue with this set. Being held by hand without a sleeve or top loader can introduce surface oils or minor edge wear.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the fee will be higher than the card's market value. Place it in a penny sleeve and top loader immediately. It is best sold as part of a Seattle Mariners team bundle to maximize shipping efficiency.
