Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card presents very strong centering overall, with the front measuring essentially near-even on both axes and the back staying within a clean, balanced range. The measured values support a top centering result.
Corner wear is concentrated on the front left-bottom corner, where multiple small white breaks/chips are visible, with lighter whitening at the front right-bottom corner. A small back right-bottom corner break was observed but excluded from scoring because it fell in an image-quality-affected region, so the result is based on the clearer front-side evidence.
Observed
No edge wear was detected on either the front or back strip scans, and the edge condition appears clean overall. The evidence supports a top edge result.
Surface condition is strong overall, with only a tiny dark speck on the back swirl area showing as minor blemish. The defect is limited in scope and does not indicate broader surface wear.
Observed
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 (moderate, front).
Bringing corners up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Surface, 9.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
