CenteringCentering grades at 9.5. The right border presents as marginally thicker than the left border when the card is viewed from the front, producing a slight but perceptible off-center shift along the horizontal axis. The variance is minor and consistent with the production tolerance expected at this grade tier.
CornersAll four corners grade at 10. Each corner is sharp, structurally intact, and free of whitening, fraying, rounding, or any form of handling wear. No defects are present.
EdgesAll four edges grade at 10. The edges are clean, crisp, and free of nicks, chips, roughness, or wear of any kind. No defects are present.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 9. A diagonal scratch is present on the front of the card, located within the purple hollow foil section at the bottom of the card face, running diagonally on the left side of that area. The scratch is not immediately conspicuous under normal viewing conditions but becomes noticeable under bright light and magnification. No additional surface defects are noted.
