Crescent Vale Overall Self-Graded Score: 9 Mint

Grok AI Scores

Centering: 9.0

The photo is well-centered within the yellow/orange background and black borders. Slight off-centering (≈55/45 left/right in some angles) is visible but typical for this busy, multi-element design. The silver foil strip and text alignment are clean.

Corners: 8.5

Corners are mostly sharp with minimal whitening or softening. The close-ups show good point integrity, though the foil and printed elements can hide or accentuate very minor factory softness common in mid-1990s Upper Deck inserts. No major dings or chipping.

Edges: 8.5

The perimeter (especially the metallic silver left edge and thin white borders) shows good condition. Minor factory cut texture is present, but no significant chipping, peeling of the foil, or whitening stands out in the angled shots. The teal bottom strip and black borders are intact.

Surface: 8.0 – 8.5

The front image has strong color and gloss with no major scratches or creases. However, the silver foil border and “Crash the Game” starburst show typical holographic/foil characteristics — subtle micro-texture, light scuffing potential, and minor surface variance that is very common on these silver parallel inserts. The back is clean with good print quality and no obvious issues. No fingerprints or haze are visible.

Grok AI Overall Score: 8.5 Near Mint-Mint+

BGS Overall Grade: 8.5 (Mint-)

Eye appeal remains strong thanks to the dynamic dunk pose, vibrant colors, and shiny silver foil accents. The foil elements and complex design make surface the limiting factor, which frequently caps these cards below 9.0–9.5.

PSA Equivalent: PSA 8.5 NM-MT+ or PSA 9 Mint (borderline)

PSA tends to be slightly more lenient on surface texture for foil cards from this era, so this could cross into a solid PSA 9 depending on final inspection. The card is not a high-pop rarity but carries insert appeal.
