CenteringCentering measures within the range consistent with a grade of 9.5, with a perceptible shift toward the right border relative to the left. The top-to-bottom registration is not noted as a concern. The deviation, while minor, prevents a perfect centering assessment.
CornersAll four corners present in pristine condition with no whitening, fraying, soft bending, or wear of any kind. Each corner retains a sharp, clean point fully consistent with a grade of 10.
EdgesAll four edges are clean and free of nicks, chips, fraying, or surface wear. The edges retain their original crispness throughout their full length, consistent with a grade of 10.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 8, impacted by print ink dots distributed across the black holographic pattern throughout the card's primary image area. The ink dots are specifically visible on the subject's top hat, hair, and coat under direct white light and magnification. The defects are a production-origin print anomaly rather than handling damage, but are present across multiple distinct regions of the holographic artwork and are assessable under standard inspection conditions.
