CenteringCentering is perfect on both the front and back of the card. The left-to-right and top-to-bottom borders are evenly distributed with no perceptible deviation from center, meeting the criteria for a flawless centering grade.
CornersAll four corners present in pristine condition with no whitening, fraying, blunting, or wear of any kind. Each corner terminates to a sharp, clean point consistent with an unhandled specimen.
EdgesAll four edges are clean and intact with no nicks, chips, fraying, or roughness present along any border. The edges exhibit no handling wear and are consistent with a perfect grade.
SurfaceThe surface exhibits minor production wear consistent with a grade of 9.5. No scratches, creases, dents, or print-line breaks are present; the sole deviation from a perfect surface grade reflects the faintest imperfection detectable only under close inspection.
