CenteringCentering grades at 9.5. The front face presents near-ideal registration with only a marginally perceptible variance, the right border reading slightly thicker than the left. The reverse exhibits a comparable minor left-to-right offset. Both deviations fall within the narrow tolerance consistent with a 9.5 centering grade and do not constitute a meaningful visual imbalance.
CornersAll four corners grade at 10. Each corner is sharp, structurally intact, and free of whitening, fraying, creasing, or any form of handling wear. The corners present in pristine condition with no discernible defects under inspection.
EdgesEdges grade at 9. The right edge exhibits chipping distributed along its full length on the reverse side, representing the primary detractor for this subgrade. The left edge displays localized chipping concentrated toward its upper portion on the reverse. These edge defects are consistent with the wear profile expected at a grade of 9.
SurfaceSurface grades at 9. The front face presents ink dot imperfections distributed across the flat holographic foil patterning within the card's artwork. These dots are present throughout the foil elements of the image and represent the sole surface detractors, consistent with the minor production or handling defect profile of a grade 9 surface.
