CenteringCentering is pristine. The image is positioned evenly on all axes with no discernible offset from border to border. There is no deviation from true center on either the front or reverse of the card.
CornersAll four corners present in flawless condition. No whitening, fraying, creasing, or rounding is present under any angle of inspection. The corners are sharp and structurally intact throughout.
EdgesThe edges present with light wear consistent with a grade of 8.5. The left edge on the reverse exhibits a noticeable dent — visible to the naked eye — that is moderate in presence though not severe in depth or breadth. This localized edge defect is the primary factor reducing the edges subgrade from a higher tier.
SurfaceThe surface presents with minor wear consistent with a grade of 9.5. A small number of ink dots are present on the front face of the card, and a comparable number of ink dots are noted on the reverse. These are minor print-related imperfections that do not materially detract from the overall surface integrity but preclude a perfect grade.
