CenteringCentering grades at 9.5. The card exhibits a slight left-to-right shift, with the right border measurably thicker than the left. Top-to-bottom alignment is consistent. The lateral offset is minor but perceptible and accounts for the deduction from a perfect score.
CornersCorners grade at 10. All four corners present in excellent condition with no whitening, fraying, or structural compromise. Minimal fraying is noted at the bottom-left corner; however, the degree is insufficient to warrant a point deduction and does not affect the assigned grade.
EdgesEdges grade at 9.5. The edges are largely pristine with consistent color retention. Light chipping is present along the entirety of all edges, with the most concentrated and visible chipping located along the bottom front edge. The chipping is minor in scale but consistent enough in distribution to warrant a half-point deduction.
SurfaceSurface grades at 9.5. A small white speck is present on the reverse of the card, located directly to the right of the compass graphic. No further surface defects are noted on either the front or reverse. The remainder of the card surface is free of scratches, print defects, or staining.
