CenteringCentering is perfect in both horizontal and vertical axes. The borders are symmetrical on all sides with no measurable deviation from center, meeting the standard for a flawless centering grade of 10.
CornersAll four corners present in pristine condition. No whitening, fraying, bending, or wear of any kind is present under close inspection or angled light. The corners are fully sharp and intact, consistent with a grade of 10.
EdgesThe edges are clean and well-defined throughout the majority of the card. On the reverse side, the right edge exhibits slight chipping that is discernible under magnification and bright light. The remaining edges show no comparable defects, placing this subgrade at 9.5.
SurfaceThe surface presents notable ink dot imperfections distributed across multiple areas of the card front. Ink dots are prominent within the silver holographic patterns on the front face, within the red holographic patterns along the bottom of the front, and within the red holographic pattern surrounding the set number in the upper-left corner of the front image. The frequency and visibility of these print defects across the holographic elements are the primary basis for the surface grade of 8.5.
