Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Centering is very strong on both sides, with the front measuring nearly even left-to-right and top-to-bottom and the back only slightly off-center. The measurements support a top-tier centering result.
Corners present as clean overall, with the only noted issue being a subtle whitish break near the back lower-right corner that was seen in an image-quality-affected area and excluded from scoring. With the usable corner evidence showing no meaningful wear, the corner result remains pristine.
Observed
Edge quality is excellent but not flawless, with a few tiny nicks/whitish spots along the cut edge, including the front top edge and a small nick on the back edge. These are minor and localized, consistent with a very high but not perfect edge result.
Observed
No surface scratches, dents, creases, print lines, spots, foil wear, or other surface anomalies were reported on either side. The surface therefore supports a clean top-tier result.
Edges (9.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
The limiting defect is Edge Wear (minor, back).
Bringing edges up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
