Luffy Gear 5 & Co. - SSS-08 - 2023

Centering 9.8: The front is a full bleed design that's presented perfectly, just as the artist intended. The back is just a hair off-center to the right, but you'd need a grid to notice—great eye appeal. Corners 10: All four corners are immaculate, front and back. They have that perfect, factory-fresh rounding with zero signs of wear or dings. Edges 9: The card has excellent, clean-cut edges overall, but I did find a small but noticeable scratch along the top edge on the back, which is what holds the grade here. Surface 8: The front surface is beautiful and clean, with the foil popping perfectly. The back metal surface is also very strong, with only a couple of microscopic ticks common on these metal cards. The average of the four subgrades is a very strong 9.2 landing this card a final grade of gem Mint 9. This is a beautiful example of these popular unlicensed metal cards, with only a small flaw on the back top edge keeping it from a potential higher Gem Mint grade. An amazing display piece for any One Piece fan, congratulations!
