At first glance, Master Roshi is just an old man. Grading Report

Subgrades:

Corners: 8.75

• The corners exhibit light wear, particularly on the back side. The top-left corner on the back (as shown in the close-up) has a clear white "nick" where the ink has been removed, impacting the grade.

Edges: 8.45

• Significant silvering and chipping are present along the top edge of the front (visible in the zoomed-in image). There is also minor "fuzziness" along the vertical edges on the reverse.

Surface: 8.80

• The front holochrome surface shows several vertical micro-scratches and one more prominent scratch near the center-left. The back has minor surface "snowing" (ink spray), which is a common manufacturing characteristic for this set.

Centering: 9.35

• Front centering is decent but shifted slightly toward the top (approx. 58/42). The back centering is quite good, with the text block and image well-aligned relative to the orange borders.

Grading Summary:

This Master Roshi is a nostalgic piece from the Chromium Archive. While the holochrome finish is very striking, it is unfortunately prone to the edge chipping and corner nicks seen here. At 26 years old, it remains a solid collectible for any Roshi fan.

Calculation: $(8.75 + 8.45 + 8.80 + 9.35) / 4 = 8.8375$

Final Score: 8.85

Final Grade: 9.0 (Standard Label)

(Note: While the score is an 8.85, the "Vintage 10" Ruby Label threshold for cards 26+ years old begins at an average of 9.0. This card falls just short of that range, resulting in a standard grade.)
