Summary
A pristine example of Drake Maye's 2024 Donruss Optic. This card exhibits perfect technical attributes across all subgrades, justifying a rare NGA 10 Gem Mint designation.
Subgrades
Centering
10
Exceptional 50/50 alignment on both axes. The white borders are perfectly symmetrical from left-to-right and top-to-bottom, meeting the strictest NGA Gem Mint requirements.
Corners
10
All four corners are razor-sharp under magnification. No evidence of micro-whitening or pressure points even at the vulnerable bottom-right corner.
Edges
10
Factory fresh edges with zero nicks or chipping. The Optic chrome stock shows no signs of the common silvering often found on the right-side cut.
Surface
10
Flawless mirror-like finish. No visible print lines, dimples, or surface scratches. The dark green background is free of the typical 'snow' or pitting defects.
Print Quality
10
High-definition clarity. The 'Rated Rookie' logo and player nameplate are crisp with no ink bleed or registration errors.
