Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fair (CGC 1.0) - based on aesthetic simulation
Condition Details
Artificially aged for aesthetic effect: heavy distressed edges, simulated paper abrasions, foxing, corner rounding, and color fading consistent with heavy shelf wear or poor storage.
Estimated Market Value
$0.00 (This is a digital illustration, not a mass-produced historical collectible)
Recent Sales
None – this image is an AI-generated or digital art asset replicating a vintage style.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading. The 'damage' is part of the digital art design rather than organic wear on a physical artifact.
Notable Features
Price point of 15 cents; faux-distressed texture; use of modern supercar silhouettes (e.g., elements resembling a Saleen S7 or modern prototypes) despite the vintage font and layout, which is a hallmark of anachronistic AI generation.
Authentication Notes
The image is a digital creation. Authentication would fail as a vintage item due to inconsistencies between the 15c price tag era (late 60s) and the car designs (2000s/concept car styles), as well as the uniform digital noise applied as 'distress'.
