Front centering is essentially dead-on horizontally and only slightly bottom-heavy, while the back shows a modest but still mild offset. The measured alignment supports an outstanding centering result overall.

The corners show light wear at the back BL, BR, and TR tips with small white nicks and slight arc whitening, indicating only minor corner handling. The back TL corner also showed broader whitening, but that region was excluded from scoring because glare and image quality made the evidence less reliable.

The edges show scattered minor whitening and small nicks along the cut edges, especially on the back bottom edge, with no heavy chipping or structural damage. A couple of edge defects were visible in image-quality affected regions and were excluded from scoring, but the remaining wear is still limited and consistent with light edge wear.

The surface is mostly clean, with only a faint vertical scuff in the front silver name banner and a few tiny specks on the front and back artwork. Despite some front glare reducing visibility in places, the observed marks are small and isolated, supporting a very clean surface result.
