CenteringCentering is optimal on all axes. Left-to-right and top-to-bottom registration falls within the tightest acceptable tolerances, with no perceptible variance from center. No border imbalance is present.
CornersAll four corners present as sharp and structurally intact. No whitening, fraying, soft bending, or mechanical wear is observed at any corner tip. The corners are consistent with a pristine example.
EdgesThree edges present cleanly with no notable imperfections. On the right edge, toward the lower portion of the card when viewed from the front, minor whitening and silvering are present. This localized edge disturbance is consistent with a grade of 9.5.
SurfaceTwo micro scratches are noted on the front surface. The first is located beneath the subject's chin, extending into the hair area of the illustrated figure. The second is situated along the subject's neck. Both are fine in nature and consistent with a surface grade of 9. The reverse surface was not cited as a source of deduction.
