Analysis
Square-cut sports-card construction. Front: top-left B, slight tip wear with the point substantially intact; top-right B, slightly softened tip; bottom-left B, small pale touch at the tip; bottom-right C, lightly rounded rather than a crisp square point. Back: top-left B, slight tip softening; top-right A, clean square point; bottom-left C, lightly rounded tip corresponding to the front bottom-right; bottom-right B, slight tip fraying. Corner scores are weighted toward the weakest corner.
How this affects your grade:
Corners accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. Improving this area could increase the overall grade.
front bottom-right corner
The square corner point appears lost to light rounding.
back bottom-left corner
Light corner rounding, corresponding to the front bottom-right corner.
Analysis
Front: a small pale nick near the middle of the top edge and isolated light nicks on the left edge, most noticeable toward the bottom; right edge is largely clean; bottom edge shows slight unevenness near the corners. Back: top and right edges appear largely clean, with faint roughness along portions of the left and bottom edges. No substantial chipping or separation is visible.
How this affects your grade:
Edges accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. This strong score contributes well to the final grade.

Analysis
Front and back retain clear printing with no visible crease, substantial scratch, dent, or stain. The bright highlights on the reverse portrait belong to the printed photograph, not surface loss. Fine gloss condition cannot be established from these photographs.
How this affects your grade:
Surface accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. This exceptional score positively impacts the final grade.

Analysis
The full-bleed, asymmetric design provides no matched borders for reliable pixel measurements. Placement appears approximately 50/50 to 55/45 horizontally and vertically on both faces, with no obvious severe miscut. These are visual estimates rather than measured border ratios.
How this affects your grade:
Centering accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. This exceptional score positively impacts the final grade.
Analysis
No holographic panel is present. The metallic-looking front logo is not treated as a holographic surface.
How this affects your grade:
Holographic accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. Improving this area could increase the overall grade.
