Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT) to Gem Mint condition.

• Overall Grade: Superb (Potential PSA 9 or 10).
• Centering: Excellent. On the front, the left-to-right and top-to-bottom centering appears to be approximately 50/50 to 52/48. The reverse centering is also exceptionally strong.
• Corners: All four corners appear sharp and free of "whitening" (exposed paper fibers), which is the most common flaw on Japanese cards of this age.
• Edges: Edges are smooth with no visible chipping or silvering.
• Surface: The glossy surface appears clear of scratches, scuffs, or the "print lines" that frequently plague Vending Series cards. No "peel damage" is visible.
• Paper: The card is flat with no signs of warping, creasing, or staining.
• Colour: Rich and vibrant; no signs of UV fading or oxidation.
