CenteringCentering grades at 9, reflecting minor production variance consistent with this tier. The borders are well-proportioned with only slight deviation from perfect registration, falling within acceptable tolerances for a high-grade specimen.
CornersAll four corners present in excellent condition, grading at 9.5. Minor production wear consistent with a grade of 9.5 is present under close inspection; no meaningful fraying, whitening, or rounding is observed.
EdgesThe edges grade at 9, exhibiting minor production wear consistent with this tier. The cut is clean along all four edges with only slight imperfection detectable under close inspection, well within expectations for a high-grade example.
SurfaceThe surface grades at 9, consistent with minor production wear at this tier. The card face and reverse are free of meaningful scratches, creases, or print defects, with only slight imperfection detectable under close scrutiny.
