CenteringCentering is excellent on both axes, meeting the standards required for a grade of 10. No measurable deviation from center is present on either the front or reverse of the card.
CornersAll four corners present sharp, clean points with no whitening, fraying, or mechanical wear observed. The corners are consistent with a grade of 10.
EdgesThree of the four edges present cleanly with no notable defects. On the reverse of the card, the right edge exhibits very faint whitening running from approximately the midpoint of that edge extending to the right corner. Additionally, the left edge on the reverse shows a small cluster of white dots located immediately adjacent to the upper-left corner. Both areas of whitening are minor in nature but are discernible under angled light and magnification. This condition is consistent with a grade of 9.5.
SurfaceThe surface presents with light wear consistent with a grade of 8.5. Across the silver flat holographic foil, a small number of minor ink dots are present. On the bottom portion of the card, within the flat blue holographic foil, additional ink dots are observed alongside a few very faint print lines. The left side of the blue holographic foil also exhibits micro-scratches. These collective surface imperfections, while individually minor, place the surface at a grade of 8.5.
