CenteringCentering grades at 9. The card exhibits a noticeable left-side bias and a noticeable top-heavy bias on the front face, producing measurable deviation from ideal registration on both the horizontal and vertical axes. The offset is consistent with a centering grade of 9 and is the primary factor limiting this subgrade.
CornersAll four corners grade at 10. Each corner presents as sharp and structurally intact, with no whitening, fraying, soft rounding, or wear of any kind detected. The corners are free of any defect and meet the full criteria for a perfect corner grade.
EdgesEdges grade at 9.5. Three edges present cleanly with no discernible defects. The bottom edge exhibits light whitening and silvering that is visible from the front face of the card without magnification. This localized edge disturbance is consistent with minor production or handling contact and is the sole factor distinguishing this subgrade from a perfect mark.
SurfaceSurface grades at 9. The flat holographic blue foil panel situated in the lower portion of the card image contains a multitude of ink dots distributed across the foil field. These dots are not readily apparent to the unaided eye under standard viewing conditions but become clearly visible under bright directional light and magnification. No other surface defects are noted. This condition is consistent with a surface grade of 9.
