CenteringCentering is outstanding on both axes, front and back, with no perceptible drift from center. The image and border registration are fully symmetrical, meeting the standard for a flawless centering grade.
CornersAll four corners present in pristine condition, exhibiting no whitening, fraying, soft bends, or wear of any kind. Each corner terminates to a sharp, well-defined point consistent with a perfect corners grade.
EdgesThe edges are in near-perfect condition with one exception: a slight silver ring is present on the right side of the front edge, visible only under bright light and magnification. The remaining edges are clean and free of nicking, roughness, or surface loss, consistent with a grade of 9.5.
SurfaceThe surface exhibits a combination of defects concentrated on the front face of the card. Along the green holographic pattern at the bottom of the front image, minor scuffing and minor print dots are present, detectable under bright light and magnification. Additionally, in the central white portion of the front image, a small number of scratches are present; while most apparent under bright light and magnification, these scratches remain discernible to the naked eye. Taken collectively, these surface defects are consistent with a surface grade of 8.5.
