CenteringCentering is consistent with a grade of 8.5. Viewed from the front of the card, the right border is visibly thicker than the left border, and the bottom border is slightly thicker than the top border, producing measurable but moderate off-center registration on both axes.
CornersAll four corners grade at 9.5. The slightest touch of whitening is present, consistent with minor production or handling wear at this grade tier. No fraying, creasing, or more significant corner degradation is present.
EdgesThe edges grade at 7, reflecting noticeable wear across multiple edges. On the right edge, two distinct white dots are present. On the left edge, three distinct areas of whitening are present. The cumulative impact of these defects across both edges is the primary factor reducing the edge grade to 7.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 9. The blue holographic foil on the front of the card exhibits a couple of ink dots distributed across the foil area. These ink-dot imperfections are the defining surface defects at this grade tier; no additional significant scratching, creasing, or print-line breaks are noted beyond what is consistent with a grade of 9.
