Grading & Condition
This significant rookie card has been professionally authenticated and graded by PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), receiving a grade of VG 3(MC). The "VG 3" denotes Very Good condition, consistent with a vintage card that exhibits noticeable wear such as corner rounding, some surface wear, and potentially minor creasing. The "(MC)" qualifier indicates a miscut, meaning the card's centering is notably off, with one border appearing significantly wider than the others. Despite the miscut, the card is encased in a tamper-evident PSA slab, ensuring its authenticity and protection, with certification number 80037341 available for verification on PSA's online registry. This offers collectors an opportunity to acquire a graded example of a legendary rookie at an accessible price point.
