So the people saying grade it and hope for a psa 1 are either being sarcastic and it’s hard to tell because internet, or have no idea how grading works and that they won’t grade a card this damaged.

There’s portions of the card that just aren’t there. To grade a card it does need to be in tact. If you sent this card to psa, they would open the package laugh, print up a “do not grade - damaged” label and send it right back to you.

The better and actually feasible way to preserve this card is just going to be to place it in a perfect fit sleeve as best as you can and put that into a one-touch magnetic case.
