Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card is very well centered on both sides, with the front and back measurements staying close to balanced and comfortably within a top-grade range.
Corners are strong overall, but the front bottom-left corner shows a small white nick and the back bottom-left has a very subtle possible nick near the rounded tip, which is enough to keep the corners just below perfect.
Observed
Edges are effectively pristine, with only tiny white flecks noted on the back cut edge. One additional back-side nick was seen in an image-quality-affected region and was excluded from scoring, so the visible edge wear remains minimal.
Observed
Surface wear is the main limiter here: there is a small bright chip-like mark on the front gold border and several tiny specks on the back artwork. The back scan has moderate glare, so one defect was excluded from scoring in an unreliable region, but the remaining surface marks still support a modest reduction.
Observed
Surface (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 Surface Mark (minor, front).
Bringing surface up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Corners, 9.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
