Centering Assessment
Front: Approximately 60/40 Top-to-Bottom, 50/50 Left-to-Right; the image appears slightly shifted toward the top edge.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; clean gloss with possible light micro-scratching typical of foil-based modern stock.
Corner Condition
Generally sharp, though the lower-left corner shows a potential minor hint of white showing through the blue border.
Edge Condition
Reasonably clean; the blue foil edges on Panini Prestige are prone to micro-chipping, but no major dents are visible.
Print Quality
High saturation with a distinct radial sunburst effect; registration looks solid.

$3.00 - $8.00 (Raw); $25.00 - $45.00 (PSA 9/10)
