CenteringThe front face presents perfect left-to-right and top-to-bottom centering. The reverse exhibits a measurable offset, reading top-heavy and left-heavy. Averaging both faces, centering grades at 9.5.
CornersThe front corners display slight fraying localized to the two top corners. The remaining corners are sharp and structurally intact. No corner damage is noted on the reverse. Condition grades at 9.5.
EdgesMinor fraying is present along the front-face edges, running continuously around the full perimeter. The fraying is marginally perceptible under normal lighting conditions and becomes clearly defined under magnification. The reverse edges are not cited as a concern. Edges grade at 9.
SurfaceThe front surface is free of any noteworthy defects. The reverse surface is near-pristine with the exception of isolated areas where ink failed to lay down correctly during manufacturing, distributed across the back face. These ink-settlement imperfections are the sole detractors noted on the surface. Surface grades at 9.5.
