CenteringCentering grades at 9.5. The reverse of the card exhibits measurable border imbalance, with the left and top borders presenting noticeably thicker margins relative to the right and bottom borders. The deviation is sufficient to prevent a perfect centering grade but remains within the acceptable range for a 9.5 designation.
CornersCorners grade at 9.5. All four corners present in generally strong condition; however, light chipping is visible around each corner, most readily observed when examining the reverse of the card. The wear is minor in scale and consistent with a grade of 9.5, with no corner exhibiting fraying, blunting, or significant structural compromise.
EdgesEdges grade at 9.5. Minor chipping and light fraying are present along the edges, consistent with light handling wear at the 9.5 tier. The imperfections are not severe and do not represent any single area of concentrated damage, but their presence in aggregate is sufficient to preclude a higher grade.
SurfaceSurface grades at 9.5. The overall surface presents in near-pristine condition on both sides. On the front, the flat holographic pattern exhibits a small number of ink dots and minor print line interruptions, detectable under magnification. On the reverse, isolated white dots are present at points where ink coverage was incomplete during the printing process. No scratches, creases, or dents are present, and the surface imperfections are limited to minor production-related characteristics consistent with a grade of 9.5.
