This item has been professionally graded by CAS (Collector Archive Services) and is housed in a custom archival acrylic display case. Acrylic case 5 1/2" H x 12" W x 2" D.

Condition report:

Professionally graded by AFA as 50 Y-VG (Very Good). Subgrades are C60 for the card, B50 for the bubble, and F85 for the figure. The card is unpunched but shows significant tearing and creasing around the hanger hole, as well as general edge wear and shelf wear. The plastic blister bubble exhibits significant yellowing consistent with age, which is reflected in the \"Y\" designation of the grade. The figure remains in excellent, factory-sealed condition.
