CenteringCentering is excellent across both axes. The left-to-right and top-to-bottom margins are within tolerance, presenting a well-balanced face free of any perceptible drift or misregistration.
CornersThree corners present no appreciable wear. The bottom-left corner, assessed from the card face, exhibits a slight bend, reducing the sharpness expected at this grade tier. The remaining corners retain their integrity and show no whitening, fraying, or soft compression.
EdgesThe edges are largely clean and well-defined. The bottom edge, assessed from the card face, carries a minor indentation in the area proximate to the bottom-left corner, consistent with the physical deformation noted at that corner. The remaining three edges show no chipping, nicking, or roughness consistent with a grade of 9.5.
SurfaceThe front surface of the card exhibits scattered ink dots distributed throughout the silver and purple holographic patterning. These print-related artifacts are visible across the foil elements on the card face and are the primary factor in this subgrade. No scratches, creases, or additional surface disturbances were identified.
