CenteringCentering is excellent on both axes. The image is positioned squarely within the borders, with no perceptible deviation from side to side or top to bottom. The centering meets the standard for a flawless grade with no measurable offset.
CornersAll four corners are sharp and pristine, exhibiting no whitening, fraying, peeling, or wear of any kind. Each corner retains its original factory point with no rounding or handling marks present.
EdgesThe left edge exhibits a notable amount of chipping and whitening consistent with handling damage. The right edge shows chipping attributed to the manufacturing cutting process. These edge defects collectively place this subgrade at a level consistent with a grade of 8.
SurfaceOn the reverse of the card, a hairline scratch is present to the right of the compass graphic, extending from the compass outward toward the right border. This isolated surface defect is consistent with a surface grade of 9.5, with the remainder of both faces free of significant scratching, print defects, creases, or print-line breaks.
