Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card is very well centered overall. The front is nearly perfectly balanced, and the back shows only a mild left-right shift while remaining comfortably within a top-tier centering range.
No corner wear was identified in the corner scans, which supports the highest corner result. The corners present as clean with no meaningful fraying, whitening, or rounding visible in the provided evidence.
Edge detail is generally strong, with one minor bit of whitening/notching on the front top edge near the right side. That isolated flaw is small and consistent with a strong but not flawless edge result.
Observed
No surface defects were identified in the available scans, supporting a pristine surface result. Minor glare on both sides reduced inspection clarity somewhat, but there was still no visible evidence of scratches, dents, creases, print lines, or spotting.
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, front).
Bringing edges up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
