CenteringCentering grades at 9.5. The left-to-right balance shows a slightly thicker right border when the card is viewed from the front, resulting in a minor but perceptible offset. Top-to-bottom registration is consistent with this grade tier.
CornersAll four corners present minor production wear consistent with a grade of 9.5. No significant whitening, fraying, or blunting is present; the wear observed is at the threshold expected for this tier under close inspection.
EdgesAll four edges are clean and structurally intact, presenting no nicks, chips, fraying, or whitening. The edges are free of any defects appropriate to this subarea and are fully consistent with a grade of 10.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 9. On the front of the card, a prominent ink dot is present within the yellow holographic pattern near the bottom of the card, resulting from an area where ink did not lay down properly during the printing process. This print defect is the primary factor in the surface assessment. The remainder of the surface is otherwise free of scratches, creases, or additional notable blemishes.
