Card details:
"Clean front & back no scratches "
Front
Centering Measurements
This card’s artwork runs to the edge with no even printed border, so there is no border ratio to measure. Centering is not counted against the grade on a design like this. Perfect centering for the borderless full-art design; no measurable printed border is present, and internal artwork anchors appear balanced on both axes.
Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering; the blue border is nearly equal on the horizontal axis and visually equal on the vertical axis.
