Subgrades
Centering
9
The front centering is excellent, presenting an approximate 55/45 ratio from top-to-bottom and left-to-right. This slight shift is well within the acceptable parameters for a Mint 9 grade, maintaining strong visual appeal.
Corners
9
All four corners are remarkably sharp and crisp, exhibiting only the most minute, factory-issued imperfections visible under magnification. They retain their original pointed structure, consistent with a Mint grade.
Edges
9
The card's edges are very clean and well-defined, showing no significant chipping, nicks, or wear. A single, minuscule factory imperfection may be present upon extremely close inspection, but does not detract from the overall pristine appearance.
Surface
9
The surface is largely pristine, maintaining its original factory gloss and free from major scratches, indentations, or significant print defects. A very faint, factory-issued print line or minor surface anomaly may be present, but is barely perceptible and does not impact the card's visual integrity.
Print Quality
9
The print quality is superb, featuring vibrant colors, sharp focus, and excellent registration. There are no significant print spots, smudges, or color loss, showcasing the card's design with exceptional clarity.
