CenteringCentering is pristine. Left-to-right and top-to-bottom registration fall within the tightest acceptable tolerances, with borders presenting as visually balanced on all four sides. No bias or drift is present.
CornersAll four corners are sharp and structurally intact with no whitening, fraying, peeling, or signs of handling wear. The corners present as flawless under direct and angled light.
EdgesThe edges exhibit minor wear consistent with a grade of 9. Specifically, a slight lift is present along the bottom-right edge as it approaches the corner, and a corresponding slight lift is present along the top-right edge as it approaches the corner, both observed from the front of the card. These edge disturbances are confined to the areas where the respective edges meet the corner and do not extend along the full edge length.
SurfaceThe surface is graded at 8. On the front of the card, the flat holographic foil in the area depicting the subject's pants exhibits scuffing consistent with production or handling contact. On the reverse, consistent scuffing is present along the left side of the compass graphic, with additional scuffing on the right side of the compass and at the top of the compass. These surface defects are noticeable under magnification and bright light.
