CenteringCentering is strong on all axes with a slight variance noted between the left and right borders, the right border measuring marginally thicker than the left. The deviation is minor and consistent with a centering grade of 9.5.
CornersAll four corners present in pristine condition with no whitening, fraying, chipping, or wear of any kind detectable under close inspection. The corners are fully sharp and meet the standard for a grade of 10.
EdgesThe edges are clean and well-defined with minor production wear consistent with a grade of 9.5. No nicks, chips, or roughness beyond what is expected at this grade tier are present.
SurfaceThe surface exhibits ink dot imperfections located within the flat yellow holographic pattern along the bottom portion of the card front. These blemishes are consistent with a surface grade of 9.5 and represent the primary point of note on an otherwise clean surface.
