Summary
This 1992-93 Upper Deck Mario Lemieux #433 is a premier example. While the edges and print clarity are flawless, the presence of a singular micro-fleck on one corner and a minor surface print line necessitates a 9.5 grade rather than a Gem Mint 10.
Subgrades
Centering
9.5
Front centering is exceptional, measuring approximately 52/48 left-to-right. Reverse centering shows a negligible shift toward the top edge, well within Mint+ tolerances.
Corners
9.5
All four corners are structurally sharp. Microscopic white touch visible only under high magnification on the bottom-right rear corner prevents a perfect 10.
Edges
10
Factory fresh edges with no evidence of chipping or silvering. The white card stock remains pristine along all perimeters.
Surface
9.5
High-gloss finish is intact. A single, faint hairline print line is visible in the dark background area near the helmet under direct light. No pitting or scratches detected.
Print Quality
10
Registration is perfect. Text is crisp and the hologram on the reverse is fully intact with no oxidation or lifting.
