Summary
This 1991 Pro Set Mario Lemieux #318 is a mid-to-high grade example hampered by significant edge chipping and a notable surface scratch on the reverse. While the eye appeal of the front remains decent, the structural integrity of the corners and the surface damage on the back prevent a higher designation. Per NGA standards, the subgrades average to 7.7, which is rounded down to a final grade of 7.5 NM+.
