CenteringCentering grades at 9, with perceptible weight toward the right border and the top border. The off-center distribution is consistent with this grade tier and is observable to the unaided eye.
CornersAll four corners present minor wear consistent with a grade of 9.5. Any imperfections are limited to the faint, incidental wear expected at this grade tier and do not constitute significant structural compromise.
EdgesThe edges present minor fraying, visible under magnification and bright lighting. The fraying is limited in extent and consistent with a grade of 9; it does not rise to the level of significant structural compromise but is a documentable defect under close examination.
SurfaceThe surface presents minor production wear consistent with a grade of 9.5. No significant scratches, creases, print defects, or print-line breaks are present; any imperfections are limited to the faint, incidental wear expected at this grade tier.
