CornersAll four corners are sharp and structurally intact. No whitening, fraying, or wear of any kind is present. The corners meet the standard for a flawless grade.
EdgesThe edges exhibit minor fraying that is noticeable under bright light and magnification, though not severe in nature. The fraying is consistent with a grade of 9.5 and does not represent significant structural compromise.
SurfaceThe surface presents micro-scratching on the flat holographic foil in the lower portion of the card front. Additional micro-scratching is present on the card back in the area above the compass graphic. These surface abrasions are consistent with light handling wear and are reflected in a grade of 8.
