CenteringCentering grades at 9. The right border is measurably thicker than the left border, producing a slight left-to-right offset. Top-to-bottom centering is within acceptable tolerance.
CornersAll four corners present no visible wear, fraying, or compression damage. Corners grade at 10.
EdgesAll four edges are clean and free of nicks, chips, or roughness. Edges grade at 10.
SurfaceThe surface presents numerous small ink dots distributed across the front holographic elements of the card. These dots are concentrated throughout the red holographic pattern along the bottom of the card and are also present across the brown holographic pattern depicting the subject's sunglasses in the central image. The defects are consistent with ink dropout or particulate contamination during the printing process, resulting in areas where the ink did not adhere uniformly to the holographic substrate. The dots are not readily discernible to the unaided eye under normal lighting conditions but are clearly visible under magnification. Their relative abundance across multiple holographic regions of the card surface warrants a surface grade of 8.5.
