CenteringCentering is consistent with a grade of 9.5. On the front face, the right border presents marginally thicker than the left border. On the reverse, the left border presents marginally thicker than the right border. Both deviations are minor and fall within the expected tolerance for this grade tier.
CornersAll four corners are sharp and structurally intact, exhibiting no whitening, fraying, chipping, or rounding. The corners are free of any handling or production-related wear and meet the criteria for a grade of 10.
EdgesAll four edges are clean and well-defined, showing no chipping, roughness, nicking, or surface disruption along any edge. The edges meet the criteria for a grade of 10.
SurfaceThe surface is consistent with a grade of 9.5. On the reverse, a hairline indentation is present just above the bottom border; the indentation is subtle and is most discernible under magnification. On the front face, within the holographic pattern at the bottom of the card, a small number of minor ink voids are present where the ink did not fully adhere during production. Both observations are limited in scope, and the remainder of the card surface is free of scratches, creases, staining, or additional print defects.
