The card exhibits excellent centering on the front, approaching a 55/45 ratio from left to right, with a similar strong alignment observed top to bottom. The back also presents very good centering. Minor shifts are present but do not detract significantly from the card's overall eye appeal.
Corners

Three of the card's corners are sharp and well-defined, showing no significant wear. One corner, upon close inspection, exhibits a very minor touch of fuzzing or a microscopic ding, consistent with the Near Mint-Mint grade. There is no evidence of rounding or creasing.
Edges
8
The edges are generally clean and well-preserved. A very slight, almost imperceptible rough spot or minor chipping is noted along one edge, which is acceptable for this grade. No significant nicks, dings, or widespread wear are present.
Surface
8
The card surface is largely clean and free of major defects. A very faint, superficial print line or a couple of microscopic surface scratches may be present under direct light, but these do not break the surface or significantly impact the card's visual appeal. No significant indentations, creases, or wax stains are observed.
Print Quality
8
Print quality is strong with vibrant colors and good image registration. Minor factory print dots or a very slight focus softness may be present upon magnification, but the overall image clarity and color fidelity are excellent, contributing positively to the card's presentation.
