CenteringCentering is excellent in both the left-to-right and top-to-bottom axes. All margins are even and well within tolerance, with no perceptible drift toward any border. The centering presents no deduction.
CornersThree corners present minor wear consistent with a grade of 8.5. The bottom-right corner exhibits a slight structural indentation on the reverse of the card that compromises the integrity of that corner tip. The indentation is the primary defect driving the corners subgrade.
EdgesThe edges present minor production wear consistent with a grade of 9.5. All four edges are well-defined with no nicking, chipping, or roughness beyond a single faint touch of wear detectable only under close inspection.
SurfaceThe surface presents noticeable wear consistent with a grade of 7. The front surface exhibits a multitude of print lines, ink dots, and micro-scratches concentrated on the flat black holographic foil area within the subject's mouth. The reverse surface shows a small but distinct indentation corresponding to the structural defect at the bottom-right corner, where the damage crosses over from the corner and leaves a visible depression on the card back. The cumulative effect of these print defects, surface scratches, and the reverse indentation is the primary basis for this subgrade.
