Shaded band is the middle half of live Buy It Now asking prices, weekly intervals; the line is the median. Auctions are excluded - a climbing bid is not an asking price. The scale follows the asking prices, so a sale well outside them is pinned to the edge rather than flattening the band.middle halfconfirmed salebest offer, at its cap

Estimated grade: 7 (6–8) · MEDIUM confidence · asking $6.99

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R); top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — reasonably centered, no obvious OC issue. Corners appear relatively sharp with minimal visible rounding at this resolution; no obvious blunting detected but the camera angle limits a definitive corner read. The orange border shows no obvious chipping or heavy edge wear visible, which is a positive sign for this series. Surface gloss appears present and intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, though the slight camera perspective and image compression prevent ruling out very minor surface wear; a closer flat scan could push this toward an 8 or drop it to a 6 depending on corner condition.
