About Raphael: The hot-headed and sarcastic member of the team, Raphael is known for his red bandana, his mastery of the twin sai, and his tough-guy attitude that often masks a deep loyalty to his brothers. As a fan-favorite, his collectibles are always highly sought after, and this #1 sticker captures him in his classic animated glory.

Understanding the PSA 8 NM-MT Grade: A PSA 8 Near Mint-Mint grade signifies a sticker in excellent condition, especially impressive for a collectible from the 1980s. According to PSA's rigorous standards, an NM-MT 8 is a "super high-end" item that appears Mint 9 at first glance but may exhibit very slight fraying at one or two corners, a minor printing imperfection, or slightly off-white borders upon closer inspection. It's a highly desirable grade that showcases a sticker with strong eye appeal and minimal wear. Professional grading by PSA guarantees its authenticity and provides a reliable assessment of its condition, all secured within a protective, tamper-evident slab.
