CenteringCentering grades at 9.5. The right border reads visibly thicker than the left border on the card front, producing a minor but measurable offset. The deviation is consistent with minor production variance and falls within the tolerance band for this grade tier.
CornersAll four corners grade at 10. Each corner presents as sharp and structurally intact with no whitening, fraying, soft bending, or wear of any kind observed.
EdgesEdges grade at 9.5. The top edge exhibits slight silvering, concentrated toward the right corner. The remaining edges are consistent with minimal production wear appropriate to this grade tier.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 8. The card presents reasonably well under normal viewing conditions; however, under bright light and magnification, multiple surface defects become apparent. Print dots are present within the silver holographic foil surrounding the subject in the image, including the hair area, and additional print dots are visible within the green holographic foil along the bottom of the image. A hairline scratch runs through a portion of the text box and extends to the side. Small scuff marks and further ink dots are also noted across the surface. These defects are not prominently visible without the aid of direct bright lighting and magnification, but their collective presence and character under examination are consistent with a grade of 8.
