CenteringCentering grades at 9.5. The card exhibits a mild left-to-right offset on the front face, with the image registering heavier toward the left side relative to the right. The deviation is within tolerances consistent with a centering grade of 9.5 and does not constitute a severe or symmetrical misalignment.
CornersCorners grade at 9.5. Light silvering and minor chipping are present on the bottom-left corner and the bottom-right corner. The remaining corners retain their structural integrity without visible wear. The observed corner wear is consistent with the minor imperfections expected at this grade tier.
EdgesEdges grade at 9.5. Silvering is noted along the bottom edge on the front face and along the left edge on the front face. Two white dots are present on the bottom edge as observed from the reverse side. These edge imperfections are localized and consistent with the minor production or handling wear characteristic of a grade of 9.5.
SurfaceSurface grades at 9. On the reverse, a hairline scratch passes through the center of the compass image; this defect is only discernible under bright light or magnification and does not penetrate or broadly disturb the surrounding artwork. On the obverse, very minor print lines are present within the blue holographic foil strip at the bottom of the card face; these lines are barely perceptible except under magnification. Both surface imperfections taken together are consistent with a surface grade of 9.
