CenteringCentering grades at 9. The right and top borders are measurably thicker than the bottom and left borders when the card is viewed from the front, producing a slight but perceptible offset. The deviation is consistent with minor production misregistration at this grade tier.
CornersCorners grade at 9.5. All four corners retain strong structural integrity with minimal wear. Minor production wear consistent with a grade of 9.5 is present, representing only the slightest deviation from a perfectly pristine state under close inspection.
EdgesEdges grade at 9.5. Light fraying is present around the outside edges of the card. The fraying is consistent in character with a grade of 9.5 and does not constitute significant structural compromise, remaining at the minor end of the wear spectrum.
SurfaceSurface grades at 9.5. A couple of print dots are visible on the card surface under magnification and bright light. Outside of this minor print-quality characteristic, the surface is otherwise consistent with a 9.5 grade tier, free of scratches, creases, or additional defects.
