Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
7/10The upper-left yellow corner shows slight rounding with a small exposed lighter area at the apex.
The upper-right yellow corner remains defined but has mild softening along the outer tip.
The lower-left corner has visible rounding and edge wear where the yellow frame meets the cut.
The lower-right corner is softened with a small pale wear area at the point.
Location: front top-left corner
Small exposed light fibers and irregular wear are visible along the top cut edge near the rounded corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Front corners show visible rounding and localized coating wear at all four tips, most apparent at the lower corners. The points remain intact, but the repeated moderate softening places the front corner score at 7.
Edges
8/10The top yellow edge is generally straight with scattered pale wear near the upper-left portion.
The bottom yellow edge has visible wear concentrated near both corner transitions.
The left yellow edge remains intact overall but has light abrasion around the lower section.
The right yellow edge is straight and mostly intact, with minor pale wear near the lower corner.
Location: front top edge
A few small light exposed spots interrupt the top cut edge, mainly near the left portion.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Front edges remain structurally straight but show scattered close-inspection wear around the perimeter. The distributed minor whitening is consistent with an edge score of 8.
Surface
7/10No analysis available
Location: lower-left and lower-center yellow text area
Lower-left to lower-center front surface → diffuse tan discoloration and uneven yellow tone → broad low-contrast patches → warm brown areas contrast subtly with the surrounding pale yellow card stock.
Location: front lower-left area of the surface
Small exposed light cardstock fleck is visible along the lower cut edge near the bottom center-right.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The front surface shows diffuse vintage discoloration across portions of the yellow field, while the artwork and text remain intact. No confirmed crease, deep scratch, or indentation is visible; the surface score is 8. This face shows 7/10 to match the surface score the three independent evaluations agreed on.

Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
7/10The physical upper-left back corner, appearing at the right side of the back photograph, is rounded with a pale edge.
The physical upper-right back corner, appearing at the left side of the photograph, retains its shape but is visibly softened.
The physical lower-left back corner shows rounded geometry and a light worn tip.
The physical lower-right back corner has mild rounding and a pale abrasion at the outer point.
Location: back bottom-left corner
Small light fibers and roughness are visible along the lower cut edge near the rounded bottom-left corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Back corners independently show repeated softening and localized pale wear, particularly at the lower corners. No lifted or folded corner is visible; the overall back corner score is 7.
Edges
8/10The upper blue back edge is cleanly cut with a few small pale interruptions near the right-side corner.
The lower blue edge has minor pale wear along the corner areas while the central cut remains straight.
The physical left back edge, shown on the right side of the photograph, displays slight pale abrasion near its lower run.
The physical right back edge, shown on the left side of the photograph, is mostly clean with minor pale wear near the upper corner.
Analysis: Back edges are straight and intact but show several small pale wear points against the dark blue design. The distributed close-inspection whitening supports a score of 8.
Surface
7/10No analysis available
Location: lower-center blue back area around the copyright text
Lower-center back surface → faint uneven brownish discoloration over the blue field → diffuse small-area variation → muted warm tones contrast with the surrounding navy-blue print.
Analysis: The back surface retains its printed blue pattern but exhibits diffuse age-related discoloration near the lower text area. No structural line, defined scratch, or surface depression is confirmed; the back surface score is 8. This face shows 7/10 to match the surface score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
