CenteringCentering is excellent on all axes, meeting the threshold for a flawless grade. Left-to-right and top-to-bottom borders are evenly distributed with no perceptible deviation. No centering-related deduction applies.
CornersAll four corners present in pristine condition with no whitening, fraying, soft bends, or wear of any kind. Each corner terminates to a clean, sharp point consistent with a perfect grade.
EdgesThe edges exhibit minor wear consistent with a grade of 9.5. On the reverse, a small white dot is present along the bottom edge toward the right side, approaching the right corner. On the front face, whitening is present along the edges at the boundary where the flat holographic foil meets the card edge.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 9, reflecting manufacturing print defects inherent to the card's production. The flat holographic foil patterns, including those present on the subject's bracelet and across the broader card surface, exhibit small ink dots consistent with manufacturing-origin print defects. These characteristics are production-related and are noted as the basis for the surface grade.
