CenteringCentering grades at 9 on the front face. The left border is measurably thicker than the right border by a noticeable margin, and the top border is thicker than the bottom border, producing off-center registration across both axes consistent with a grade of 9.
CornersAll four corners are sharp and structurally intact, showing no whitening, fraying, or wear of any kind. The corners present in pristine condition consistent with a grade of 10.
EdgesThe edges grade at 9.5. The bottom edge exhibits a minor degree of whitening and silvering that is only discernible under bright light and magnification, consistent with light production or handling wear at this grade tier. The remaining edges present cleanly.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 9.5. Examination of the front face reveals a small number of ink dots, faint print lines, and a minor hairline scratch concentrated in the lower portion of the card within the flat blue foil holographic pattern area. These imperfections are only discernible under bright light and magnification and are consistent with minor production-related variance at this grade tier.
