QUALITY ASSESSMENT

The card displays exceptional preservation for a raw example of this age. The front surface retains its original gloss and vibrant color saturation, with no evident surface dimples, print lines, or edge chipping under magnified light. Corners remain sharp and consistent, with no signs of fraying or compression.

Sylvester Stallone’s silver paint pen autograph exhibits excellent ink flow, with no feathering, pooling, or pressure inconsistencies. The signature is well-placed across the main character trio, striking a strong visual balance without obstructing key design elements. The gold foil 1/1 stamp in the upper right corner is perfectly embossed and undisturbed.

No creasing, centering drift, or back bleed-through is visible, suggesting a strong candidate for PSA/DNA encapsulation and even card grading should a buyer pursue formal slab evaluation. Overall, this is a high-quality example of an ultra-rare signed insert, preserved in investment-grade condition.
