CenteringCentering on the front face grades at 9. The right border presents a measurably thicker margin than the left border, producing a mild but perceptible offset consistent with minor production variance at this grade tier. The deviation does not rise to the level of a significant miscut and is otherwise consistent with a well-centered example at the 9 tier.
CornersAll four corners are sharp and structurally intact, presenting no whitening, fraying, peeling, or wear of any kind. The corners are free of defects and meet the standard for a perfect grade of 10.
EdgesAll four edges are clean and free of nicks, chips, fraying, or handling wear of any kind. The edges present no observable defects and meet the standard for a perfect grade of 10.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 9. On the front face, the holographic pattern in the lower portion of the card exhibits a multitude of print lines along with minor scuffing. These imperfections are consistent with manufacturing-origin anomalies rather than post-production handling damage, and are visible only under bright direct light and magnification. Outside of this localized area, the surface is otherwise clean and free of scratches, creases, or dents.
