CenteringCentering grades at 9.5. The left border presents as marginally thicker than the right, and the top border presents as marginally thicker than the bottom, resulting in a slight but measurable offset from true center. The deviation is minor and consistent with the 9.5 tier.
CornersNear-perfect corners with only the slightest signs of wear under very close inspection. Corners are sharp and clean with no visible imperfections.
EdgesEdges grade at 9.5. Very minor chipping and fraying are present along the entirety of the edges. These imperfections are consistent with light production or handling wear and are only discernible under magnification in direct bright light, remaining effectively imperceptible under standard viewing conditions.
SurfaceSurface grades at 9. The front of the card exhibits a couple of ink dots distributed across the foil pattern. Additionally, a hairline scratch is present on the bottom-left area of the foil, most apparent under bright light and magnification. These surface imperfections are consistent with a grade of 9 and do not constitute heavy or widespread damage.
