CenteringThe card exhibits a slight rightward horizontal shift, resulting in a visibly thicker left border relative to the right border. The degree of offset is minor and consistent with a 9.5 centering assessment.
CornersBoth bottom corners present light fraying and minor whitening at the tips. The top corners are clean and free of observable wear. The bottom-corner defects are limited in extent and do not constitute a significant structural compromise.
EdgesThe edges are largely pristine with only minor chipping distributed along all four edges. The top edge displays a more pronounced chipping defect located near the horizontal center of the card, which represents the primary basis for the grade reduction. This type of edge chipping is a documented manufacturing characteristic of this specific promotional issue, originating from the card's original packaging, but constitutes measurable edge damage nonetheless.
SurfaceThe card surface is in generally clean condition. A notable indentation is present on the front surface in the upper-center area of the card, corresponding in location to the edge chipping observed on the top edge. This indentation is a recognized manufacturing artifact associated with the packaging used for this promotional release and serves as the primary basis for the surface grade reduction.
