Scan this card with the pokemon grading app to track its value in your collection.

Is it worth grading? Centering and edge wear are common issues on these early promo prints, since print quality varied across batches. A well-centered example in high grade tends to stand out more than the card's rarity alone would suggest. Grading services often see more mid-grade submissions than gem mint ones for this release.
