CenteringCentering registers at a grade of 9.5. The left-to-right registration is slightly off, with the right border presenting as marginally thicker than the left border when the card is viewed from the front. Top-to-bottom balance was not noted as a concern. The deviation is minor and consistent with a high near-mint centering grade.
CornersAll four corners grade at 10. Each corner is sharp and structurally intact, showing no whitening, fraying, soft bends, or wear of any kind. The corners are consistent with a pristine, unplayed example.
EdgesThe edges grade at 8, reflecting light handling wear. The right edge, as viewed from the card's reverse, exhibits multiple chipping marks distributed along its length. The extent and distribution of this chipping is consistent with a grade of 8. The remaining edges were not noted as areas of concern.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 10 on both the front and reverse. No scratches, print defects, creases, dents, staining, or print-line breaks are present. The surface is clean and pristine, consistent with a gem-mint example.
