CenteringCentering presents a minor deviation from ideal registration, with a slightly thicker border visible along the right edge of the card front. The left-to-right balance falls just outside perfect symmetry, consistent with a centering grade of 9.5. Top-to-bottom alignment was not noted as a concern.
CornersAll four corners are sharp and structurally intact, presenting no whitening, fraying, soft bends, or wear of any kind. The corners are consistent with a grade of 10.
EdgesAll four edges are clean and firm, presenting no nicks, chips, fraying, or handling wear of any kind. The edges are consistent with a grade of 10.
SurfaceThe surface presents a pervasive pattern of print lines, print dots, and faint scuff marks distributed across the entirety of the front image area. The defects are concentrated within the flat holographic foil that comprises the majority of the card's front illustration. While individually faint and not immediately conspicuous under normal viewing conditions, the print lines, print dots, and print scuffs become clearly apparent under angled light and magnification, where they are found to be pervasive throughout the image. The cumulative effect of these manufacturing and handling imperfections across the holographic surface is consistent with a surface grade of 8.
