CenteringCentering on the front face of the card measures 9.5. The left-to-right registration is slightly off, with the right border presenting marginally thicker than the left border. Top-to-bottom registration is consistent with a grade of 9.5. The variance observed is minor and falls within expected tolerances for this grade tier.
CornersAll four corners grade at 9.5. The top-left corner presents a micro-indentation that is only discernible under bright direct light and magnification. The bottom-left corner similarly exhibits a small indentation visible under bright light and magnification. The remaining two corners are free of whitening, fraying, or material wear and show no detracting characteristics.
EdgesThe edges grade at 9.5. The bottom edge carries a minor imperfection contiguous with the indentation noted at the bottom-left corner, representing a subtle bleed of that structural defect into the adjacent edge. The remaining three edges present cleanly, consistent with a grade of 9.5, and are free of nicks, chips, or roughness beyond the noted area.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 10. Both the front and reverse surfaces are free of scratches, creases, print defects, dents, staining, and print-line breaks. The foil layer presents without any loss of reflectivity or surface disturbance. No handling wear or manufacturing defects are present.
