CenteringCentering is pristine. The image and border registration are balanced on all four sides with no perceptible deviation from center. No print-shift, tilt, or border imbalance is present.
CornersThe two bottom corners exhibit silvering visible under inspection. The remaining corners are free of whitening, fraying, or wear. Overall corner condition is consistent with a grade of 9.5.
EdgesSilvering is present along the bottom edge and along the left edge. The remaining edges are clean and free of nicking, chipping, or roughness. Overall edge condition is consistent with a grade of 9.5.
SurfaceThe surface presents several notable concerns. An ink dot is present directly below the text box area, accompanied by a slight indentation at that location. Additional ink dots are distributed across the flat holographic foil of the coat and within the silver holographic foil elements, specifically affecting the lettering and the silver holographic foil of the cross and skull imagery behind the central image. On the reverse, a wear pattern is present along the far left edge at mid-card height, producing localized discoloration of the left border in that area. Collectively, these defects are consistent with a surface grade of 7.5.
