CenteringCentering grades at 9. The right border presents as measurably thicker than the left border, producing a minor but consistent left-to-right offset. The variance is within the acceptable range for this grade tier and does not constitute a severe registration error.
CornersCorners grade at 9.5. Three corners present without observable defect under inspection. The top-right corner on the reverse face exhibits a small white speck visible under bright light and magnification, representing minimal but present wear consistent with a grade of 9.5.
EdgesEdges grade at 10. All four edges are clean and structurally intact, free of nicks, chips, fraying, or roughness. No defects are observed under any lighting condition.
SurfaceSurface grades at 8. The front face exhibits a hairline scratch of notable width positioned along the bottom of the card, originating in the lower text region and extending across into the right side of the holographic pattern at the base of the illustration. The scratch is visible under faint light and becomes definitively apparent under bright light. Additional scuffing is present within the same holographic pattern in that lower region. These defects are confined to the front face and are collectively consistent with a surface grade of 8.
