Edges
9.5
The card's edges are remarkably smooth and clean, free from any chipping, nicks, or rough areas. Only the most minute, barely perceptible factory cut imperfection might be present under high magnification, not detracting from its Gem Mint quality.
Surface
9.5
The card's surface is pristine, free of any visible scratches, indentations, or print defects. The original gloss is fully intact, presenting a vibrant and unblemished appearance.
