Measured centering is excellent on both sides, with the front essentially balanced left/right and top/bottom and the back still comfortably within a premium range despite a slightly heavier bottom margin. The centered layout fully supports a top-end centering result.

The corners show only light back-side wear: a small nick on the top-left corner, plus tiny pinprick-level marks on the lower corners, while one subtle back corner defect was excluded because the affected region was too impacted by scan quality. Overall, the wear is minor and localized, which fits a 9-grade corners result.

Edge wear is very limited, with just a tiny white nick/pinprick on the back bottom edge and another subtle back-side nick that was excluded from scoring because of image-quality limitations. The visible edge defects are negligible in size and do not materially affect the overall edge appearance, consistent with a 10-grade result.

No surface defects were detected on the front or back art scans, and there is no evidence of scratches, dents, creases, print lines, spots, foil wear, or other surface anomalies. The clean surface presentation supports the top score here.
