Condition report:
Professionally graded by AFA as 50 VG (Very Good) with sub-grades of C50 for the card, B50 for the bubble, and F85 for the figure. The figure is in excellent, high-grade condition with bright colors and a well-preserved outfit. The card exhibits significant surface paper loss on the front where a retail sticker was previously removed, affecting the illustrations of Captain America and Spider-Man. General wear includes corner blunting, edge wear, and minor creasing. The clear plastic bubble is intact and remains sealed to the card, though it shows some surface scuffing and shelf wear.
