Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Centering is exceptionally tight on both sides, with the front essentially dead-center and only a slight vertical variance, and the back showing a modest horizontal and vertical offset that still remains within top-tier tolerance.
All corner scans were clean, with no visible corner wear, whitening, or rounding to explain any deduction in this area.
The edges show two small areas of whitening on the front edge strip: a tiny chip at the far left corner and a small nick along the left side. These are minor and isolated, leaving the remaining edge treatment looking clean.
Observed
No surface scratches, dents, creases, print lines, spots, or foil wear were identified on the available scans. Minor glare on the front and back images slightly reduces inspection clarity, but the visible surface still presents as clean.
Edges (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.
