The surface is remarkably clean, retaining its original factory gloss with no significant scratches, indentations, or other blemishes that would detract from its visual appeal.

Centering
9
Excellent centering with a near-perfect presentation on both the front and back. The image is well-framed, showing only a very slight shift that is barely perceptible to the naked eye, consistent with a Mint grade.
Corners
9
All four corners are sharp and crisp, exhibiting only the most minute, almost imperceptible touch of wear under magnification. They retain their original factory cut and shape, free from any significant rounding or fraying.
Edges
9
The edges are very clean and smooth, free from chipping, nicks, or dings. Only a single, extremely minor imperfection, such as a microscopic factory cut irregularity, might be present upon close inspection, not detracting from the overall Mint appearance.
Surface
9
The card surface is exceptionally clean and free of major flaws. It retains its original gloss with no significant scratches, indentations, or print defects. A single, very minor surface imperfection, such as a faint print line or a tiny factory dimple, may be present but is difficult to detect without magnification.
Print Quality
9
The print quality is outstanding, featuring vibrant colors, sharp focus, and excellent registration. There are no significant print defects, smudges, or color loss. Any minor print imperfection would be factory-original and extremely subtle, not impacting the card's visual appeal.
