Visible light surface scratches and minor finger oils; typical for high-gloss Panini stock.
Corner Condition
The bottom left corner (front view) appears slightly soft; others show light white touches consistent with raw handling.
Edge Condition
Minor white chipping visible along the right edge on the reverse.
Print Quality

Authentication Tips
