CenteringCentering is strong overall with a slight left-to-right imbalance on the front face, presenting marginally heavy on the right side. The offset is minor and consistent with the upper tier of acceptable tolerance.
CornersAll four corners present in excellent condition. No whitening, fraying, creasing, or wear of any kind is observed at any corner tip. Corners grade at the highest level.
EdgesAll four edges are clean and well-defined with no chipping, nicking, fraying, or whitening detected along any border. Edges grade at the highest level.
SurfaceThe surface presents several print and finish defects across both faces. On the card back, a small white ink void — consistent with ink not fully laying down during printing — is present on the bottom border, and a minor indentation is visible on the top back border within the green area, positioned near top-center and slightly shifted left. On the card front, the flat holographic pattern on the left side in the upper-middle area near the subject's hair exhibits a streak-type mark that is not a surface smudge, as it does not respond to cleaning and is consistent with a manufacturing or print-layer anomaly. Additionally, light micro-scratching is present across the flat holographic pattern on the front face. These combined defects place the surface grade at 8.
