CenteringCentering presents at a grade of 9. The right and top borders are measurably thicker than the left and bottom borders respectively when the card is viewed from the front. The offset is consistent with minor production variance and does not rise to the level of a significant centering defect, but is sufficient to preclude a perfect centering grade.
CornersAll four corners present at a grade of 10. Each corner is sharp and structurally intact, showing no whitening, fraying, soft bending, or wear of any kind. The corners are free of all defects consistent with a pristine grade.
EdgesEdges present at a grade of 9. Along the top edge, toward the left-hand side when the card is viewed from the front, a slight lift is present. The disturbance is not prominently visible to the naked eye under normal viewing conditions but is definitively apparent under close inspection and becomes clearly evident under magnification and bright lighting. The remaining edges are free of comparable defect.
SurfaceThe surface presents at a grade of 10. Both the front and reverse surfaces are free of scratches, print defects, creases, dents, indentations, or print-line breaks. The surface is pristine and shows no defects consistent with handling or production irregularity.
