The surface is exceptionally clean and glossy, devoid of any major scratches, indentations, or print defects. A very faint, minor print line is present, visible only under direct light and magnification, representing the single very minor flaw permissible for a Mint 9 grade.
Print quality is superb, characterized by vibrant colors, crisp imagery, and excellent registration, further enhancing the card's visual appeal.
