Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Centering is very strong on both sides. The front measures about 48.1/51.9 left-right and 51.0/49.0 top-bottom, while the back is about 47.7/52.3 and 48.6/51.4, which is close to even overall.
Corner evidence is limited and mostly minor. There is a subtle possible nick/frayed fiber at the front bottom-left that was too blurred to score, and a small area of whitening on the back bottom-right border consistent with light corner wear, but nothing suggests meaningful corner deterioration.
Observed
No true edge wear was identified on the scans. The visible issues are surface-related border marks rather than chipping, so the edges remain effectively clean.
Surface presentation is strong overall, with only a tiny pale speck on the back border and a small red/orange scuff-like mark on the front border that was excluded from scoring because the region was affected by image quality. Aside from those very minor findings, there is no notable surface damage evident.
