Grading Summary
This card shows excellent centering and very clean corners and surface, with only minor edge wear visible. A small amount of glare limited inspection in spots, but the observed wear is still minimal overall.
Flags
Image Quality
• Strong flash glare is visible in the artwork area and could interfere with inspection.
• Parts of this scan are hard to inspect. Glare, overexposure, or low detail may reduce grading confidence.
1 back-side defect ignored due to scan quality.

Four-axis score profile
Centering is excellent on both sides, with the front essentially dead-on left-to-right and only a slight top/bottom shift, and the back also staying very close to balanced. The measurements support a top-tier centering result.
The corners present as clean overall, supporting the highest score. A faint touch of whitening was noted on the back top-left corner, but that defect sat in an image-quality affected region and was excluded from scoring because the crop was too small and unclear to rely on.
Observed
Edge wear is limited, with the main issue being a small whitish nick/uneven cut edge along the front bottom section near the left side. That minor wear is consistent with a strong but not perfect edge grade.
Observed
No surface defects were identified in the usable scan areas, so the surface grades cleanly. The front glare and some back-side glare reduce inspection detail in places, but the available evidence does not show scratches, dents, creases, or other surface wear.
What's holding this card back
Lowest axisEdges (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.
