CenteringCentering measures at a grade of 9.5. Viewed from the front, the card exhibits a bias toward the right border and the top border. Viewed from the reverse, the corresponding bias presents as heavy on the left border and heavy on the top border. The offset is minor and consistent with production tolerance at this grade tier.
CornersCorners are graded at a 9. Examined from the reverse, the top-left corner exhibits a white dot, representing a localized point of surface displacement or wear. The remaining three corners retain their integrity with no comparable disturbance noted, consistent with the minor wear profile expected at this grade tier.
EdgesEdges are graded at a 9. On the reverse, the top-left edge in the immediate vicinity of the top-left corner shows a bleed of the white dot damage present at that corner, indicating that the localized wear extends marginally onto the bordering edge. The remaining edges present without noted disturbance, consistent with light production or handling wear at this grade tier.
SurfaceSurface is graded at a 9. The front of the card exhibits micro-scratching concentrated within the flat black holographic foil that renders the subject's hair at the top of the card. The scratching is confined to this distinct foil area and is consistent with light surface contact wear at this grade tier.
