CenteringCentering is consistent with a grade of 9. The top border is visibly thicker than the bottom border, and the right border is slightly thicker than the left border when the card is viewed from the front. The variance is minor but perceptible and accounts for the nominal deduction from a perfect centering score.
CornersAll four corners present in pristine condition. No whitening, fraying, soft bends, or wear of any kind is present. The corners are sharp and structurally intact throughout.
EdgesThe edges are consistent with a grade of 9.5. When the reverse face is examined and the left edge is viewed toward its midpoint, a single white dot is visible under direct white light and magnification. The remainder of the edges are clean and free of chipping, roughness, or wear.
SurfaceThe surface presents in pristine condition on both faces. No scratches, print defects, creases, dents, indentations, or print-line breaks are present. The surface is free of any detracting imperfections.
