I'd crack this one out and resubmit, no idea how this got a 5. Looks perfect to me, I would have expected a 9.
Never laid eyes on one of these cards before. I even enlarged my screen beyond the zoom to see what is going on here. I never do that. I know I am just grading looks but I had to try and find a flaw of some type. Giving up.
Looks pretty good to me. Maybe just a touch better focus and vibrancy of color could be improved upon.
Not familiar with this card at all, but seems like a tough 5 grade. The surface is clean, the colors are bright and pop, centering is great and corners are sharp.
I have a couple of these, and they're actually not that difficult to find centered. Registration is the bigger issue. This one has a shift down in the blue print which you can see at the top and bottom of the blue ring where it meets the yellow. Also, the magenta print is off which you can see in the logo how it's not centered inside the logo. There's also a slight left shitft overall in the centering and a fairly significant top/bottom shift. Not sure why other people are calling this god tier. It's almost certainly undergraded, but it's not centered and registered. B- for me
I am very confused by the cubicle grader's opinion. My eyes, however, are not confused at all. This card has zero issues in terms of Eye Appeal. If this is not God Tier I really don't know what is.
Okay. I blew it up. I enlarged my screen. And as I often say in these reviews: when I have to do that, there is only one grade to give, GOD TIER. This is up there with the great and always fun to see head scratchers of all time. GORGEOUS card, and MAJOR PROPS to whoever found it and grabbed it. Hits the eye with 100% pleasure and nothing creeps out to dampen that even after minutes of staring at it.
nice looking card. Colors are solid but does not POP. Borders and corners are clean

As far as I can tell, this card looks amazing. I donβt see anything noticeably wrong with it.
