Summary
This 1991 Score Mario Lemieux #316 is a premier example of the set. While the centering and print clarity are virtually flawless, the presence of a singular micro-fleck on one corner and a minor factory edge burr restricts the grade to a 9.5 MINT+ rather than a Pristine 10.
Subgrades
Centering
9.5
Front centering is exceptional, measuring approximately 50/50. Reverse shows a negligible shift toward the right edge, but remains well within the 55/45 tolerance for a Gem Mint designation.
Corners
9.5
Corners are extremely sharp. Microscopic white specking visible only under high magnification on the bottom-left reverse corner prevents a perfect 10.
Edges
9.5
Edges are remarkably clean for 1991 Score stock. A single, nearly invisible factory burr is noted on the upper right-hand rail of the reverse side.
Surface
9.5
High-gloss finish is preserved with no visible scratches or wax stains. A tiny, singular print dot is located in the white border area near the top-right corner, typical of the era's production.
Print Quality
10
Registration is perfect. The text on the Conn Smythe Trophy and the yellow nameplate is crisp with no bleeding or ink splatter.
