Published July 30, 2026
This card shows excellent centering and a very clean surface and edge profile overall. The main limitation is minor corner whitening/wear, most noticeable on the lower corners.

Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card presents strong centering on both sides, with the front and back each close to a 53/47 split left-to-right and a near-even top-to-bottom balance. That level of alignment supports the top centering result.
Corner quality is held back by light wear at the front lower-left and lower-right corners, plus slight whitening on the back lower-left corner. The issues are minor and localized, but they are enough to explain the modest reduction in this component, especially with some glare limiting edge detail in parts of the scan.
Observed
Edges are largely clean, with only a tiny nick or speck breaking the back left cut edge. The wear is negligible and isolated, so the edge result remains at the top level.
Observed
No surface scratches, dents, creases, print lines, spots, foil wear, or other surface anomalies were identified in the card art scans or strip scans. Despite some glare on the front and back, the visible surface evidence is clean enough to support the top surface result.
Corners (8.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
The limiting defect is Corner Wear (minor, front).
Bringing corners up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
