Centering Measurements
Excellent front centering, with an estimated 53/47 left-right ratio and 52/48 top-bottom ratio. The yellow borders are close in width, with the left and top margins subtly wider.
Back
Centering Measurements
Excellent back centering, with an estimated 55/45 left-right ratio and 52/48 top-bottom ratio. The horizontal shift is consistent with the mirrored back presentation and remains within the highest centering band.

Corners
9/10The upper-left yellow border meets a defined corner with slight surface softness but no clearly resolved fiber loss.
The upper-right yellow corner has visible rounding and a small worn-looking highlight at the apex against the yellow border.
Magnified inspection found faint whitening at this corner, visible only under magnification: visible pale fiber exposure and roughness along the lower-left corner cut.
The lower-right yellow corner is intact with mild softness along the rounded factory-style profile and no obvious exposed cardstock.
Location: front bottom-left corner
Visible pale fiber exposure and roughness along the lower-left corner cut.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Front corners are generally intact, but the upper-right apex shows minor visible rounding and the remaining tips are not sharply resolved enough to support a perfect score. No lift, fold, or missing corner material is confirmed.
Edges
9/10The upper yellow edge is continuous overall, with a slightly uneven highlight near the right half but no clearly separated chip.
The bottom yellow edge remains largely intact beneath the blue text panel, with mild softness near the corners and no continuous whitening.
The left yellow perimeter beside the blue artwork area is visible from corner to corner and shows no confirmed white flecks or exposed fibers.
The right yellow edge is cleanly outlined beside the artwork and lower text field, though the corner transitions appear slightly softened.
Analysis: Front edges retain their yellow coating with no clearly confirmed chipping or continuous whitening. Slight edge softness and photographic glare prevent a perfect edge assessment.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: Front surface condition is strong, with the artwork, text, and blue background remaining clear. Warm lighting and reflective areas limit confirmation of extremely fine surface marks, but no definite handling scratch or indentation is visible.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
8/10The physical top-left corner, appearing at the right side of the back photograph, retains a rounded but intact blue edge with no clear white fiber exposure.
The physical top-right corner, appearing at the left side of the back photograph, is intact with a smooth rounded profile and no structural lift.
The physical bottom-left corner is formed by the blue field and red inner frame; the tip is intact with mild softness but no confirmed chipping.
The physical bottom-right corner shows a clean blue perimeter and rounded tip, with no definite cardstock exposure at the available resolution.
Location: back top edge, next to the top-right corner
Visible white fiber exposure and roughened coating run along the top edge and rounded top-right corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Back corners appear intact and evenly rounded, with no confirmed bends, lifts, or significant whitening. Minor softness visible at the tips limits the face to a near-mint corner assessment. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (top edge, next to the top-right corner) — this score reflects those findings.
Edges
9/10The top blue edge and red inner line are continuous, with reflective glare across the upper-right portion rather than a confirmed physical chip.
The bottom blue edge remains intact around the copyright area, with no distinct white break visible along the cut line.
The physical left edge, visible on the right side of the back image, appears smooth and blue with no confirmed material loss.
The physical right edge, visible on the left side of the back image, is intact beside the dark blue field and red frame.
Analysis: Back edges appear intact with a continuous blue perimeter and no clearly resolved whitening, chipping, or fuzzing. Reflective glare affects the upper-right edge area, so the assessment carries moderate photographic uncertainty.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: Back surface remains visually intact, with no confirmed scratch, stain, dent, or localized gloss-loss patch. The reflective highlight and warm color cast reduce certainty for microscopic surface inspection.
