Summary
This card merits a MINT+ 9.5 grade. It presents Gem Mint characteristics across four of the five grading categories, including flawless corners, pristine edges, and a perfectly clean surface. The only element preventing a Gem Mint 10 grade is the centering, which is slightly off but still well within the NGA standards for a Mint card. The overall visual appeal is exceptionally strong, justifying the plus designation.
