Summary
This card earns a NGA MINT 9 grade. It exhibits many GEM MINT characteristics, including flawless edges and perfect print quality. The final grade is constrained by slightly off-center presentation and a single, minor print spot on the front surface, which are subtle flaws consistent with the MINT 9 standard.
