CenteringCentering grades at 8.5. On the front face, the right border carries noticeably more weight than the left, producing a measurable left-to-right offset. The reverse presents the inverse condition, with the left border reading thicker than the right. The combined front-to-back offset is consistent with light-to-moderate centering variance appropriate to a grade of 8.5.
CornersAll four corners are sharp and structurally intact, showing no whitening, fraying, creasing, or rounding under any angle of inspection. The corner subgrade is 10.
EdgesAll four edges are clean and fully intact, free of nicks, chips, fraying, or surface lifting along the border. The edge subgrade is 10.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 9.5. Minor print-line interruptions are present within the black holographic pattern comprising the subject's hair, the interior of the mouth, and the beard. These are limited in scope and consistent with production-level variance at this grade tier. All remaining surface areas are free of scratches, creases, dents, staining, or additional print defects.
