CenteringCentering grades at 9.5. Viewed from the front, the right and bottom borders measure slightly thicker than the top and left borders. Viewed from the reverse, the left and bottom borders are slightly thicker than the right and top borders. The offset is minor and consistent with the production tolerances of this grade tier.
CornersCorners grade at 9. Examined from the reverse, the top-left corner presents noticeable whitening that is clearly visible to the naked eye and becomes more pronounced under magnification and direct bright light. The top-right and bottom-right corners each exhibit minor specks of whitening. These findings are consistent with light handling wear at the 9 grade tier.
EdgesEdges grade at 9.5. The top edge, examined from the reverse, presents a single small white chipping dot located near the center of that edge, attributed to the manufacturing process. The remaining edges are free of handling-induced defects consistent with this grade tier.
SurfaceSurface grades at 10. Both the front and reverse surfaces are free of scratches, creases, print defects, dents, staining, and print-line breaks. The surface presents in pristine, uncompromised condition with no detectable wear.
