CONDITION: The card is clean, firm, nice color, with rounded corners, but NO CREASES. Based on the condition and my 57 years as a card collector, I would grade this as GOOD+ (1.5) Condition. "Good" because of the accelerated rounding of the corners, and "+" because there are no creases. I cannot guarantee a grading company would agree, but I think most any experienced collector would. Please look at the photos closely and judge for yourself. NOTE: Ebay's "Condition" category does not have a selection for "GOOD", forcing you to select "Very Good" or "Poor". This is NOT a VG card. FREE SHIPPING I do combine shipping on multiple items. See my other listings.
