Summary
This card earns a final grade of 9.5 (MINT+) due to its exceptional overall quality, which is compromised by only a single, minor imperfection. While the corners, edges, surface, and print quality are all flawless and meet the criteria for a perfect 10, the centering on the reverse side is slightly off. This lone factor prevents a Gem Mint 10 grade but elevates the card beyond a standard Mint 9, correctly placing it in the MINT+ category.
Subgrades
Centering
9
The front centering is near-perfect, well within 55/45 tolerance. The back is slightly off-center left-to-right, measuring approximately 65/35, which aligns with the NGA Grade 9 standard. This is the sole factor preventing a higher grade.
Corners
10

The edges are exceptionally clean and uniform, including the complex wavy portions at the top and bottom. No chipping, nicks, or whitening is present on any border, qualifying for a flawless grade.
Surface

The card's surface is immaculate, retaining its original gloss. Inspection reveals no print lines, scratches, indentations, or other blemishes on either the front or the back.
