CenteringCentering grades at 9.5. The front face presents a slight imbalance, with the right border measuring marginally heavier than the left. Top-to-bottom registration is consistent with this grade tier. The deviation is minor and falls within acceptable tolerances for a near-mint plus designation.
CornersCorners grade at 9.5. Three corners present cleanly with no discernible wear. A slight silver ring is noted on the bottom two corners of the front face, consistent with minor production or handling contact at that grade tier. No fraying, whitening, or structural compromise is observed elsewhere.
EdgesEdges grade at 9.5. The majority of the card's edges are clean and well-defined. A slight silver ring is present along the bottom edge on the front face, consistent with light wear at this grade tier. The remaining edges show no nicking, chipping, or roughness.
SurfaceSurface grades at 8.5. The front surface exhibits a distribution of ink dots throughout the green flat holographic pattern located at the bottom of the card. This print-quality irregularity is the primary detractor for this subgrade. The balance of the surface shows light handling wear consistent with a grade of 8.5, with no additional scratches, creases, or dents noted.
