Subgrades
Centering
8.5
The front centering is strong, exhibiting an approximate 60/40 ratio from left to right and top to bottom, which is well within the parameters for this grade. The back is also well-centered at roughly 55/45.
Corners
8.5
All four corners are exceptionally sharp, presenting a crisp appearance. Upon very close inspection, one or two corners may reveal a microscopic touch of factory-level wear or the slightest hint of fuzzing, consistent with a Near Mint-Mint+ grade.
Edges
8.5
The card's edges are very clean and smooth, showing excellent preservation. A single, minuscule factory-cut imperfection or a very faint, isolated touch of white is present on one edge, detectable only under close scrutiny and not detracting from the card's overall appeal.
Surface
8.5
The card's surface is largely pristine, retaining its original gloss and vibrancy. A very faint, superficial print line or a microscopic dimple may be present, detectable only upon very close inspection and not impacting the card's visual integrity.
Print Quality
8.5
Excellent print quality with vibrant colors and sharp focus on the player image. Minor, typical O-Pee-Chee print characteristics, such as a very slight registration shift or a few tiny, isolated print dots, are present but do not significantly impact the visual appeal.
