Summary
This is an exceptional example of Pavel Mintyukov's 2023-24 Upper Deck Series 2 Young Guns rookie card. The card exhibits outstanding eye appeal with near-perfect centering on both the front and back. The corners are razor-sharp, and the edges show no signs of the typical chipping often associated with modern Upper Deck paper stock.
The surface is highly glossy and free of any manufacturing defects. While there is a faint horizontal line visible in the scan across the upper third of the card, it is consistent with a scanner line or a mark on the plastic holder rather than a physical defect on the card's surface. Overall, this card is a strong candidate for a Gem Mint designation upon physical in-hand inspection.

Surface
