MINT (MINT AUTO GRADE) is nearly perfect. Centering must be approximately 60/40 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the back. There may be a tiny printing imperfection, one or two minor touches to the corners (seen under magnification), and a faint touch of wear on one edge. Surface gloss remains fully intact, and there are no creases, wrinkles, or visible scratches. The card maintains sharp visual appeal and strong eye-catching color with a clean autograph, if applicable.

QUALITY ASSESSMENT

The Blue Crystal design bursts with prismatic flair, layering Stallone’s 1980s aesthetic with an electric backdrop of angular blue refracted light. The card surface remains sharp and vibrant under magnification, with no notable edge wear or corner issues noted in the PSA Mint 9 grading.

Stallone’s signature is applied in bold blue ink across the lower panel. While the flow remains smooth and consistent overall, there is slight clipping of the autograph - particularly the lower loop of “Sly” on the far left where the pen tip trails off the sticker. The rest of the signature is well-contained and clearly legible, though this edge contact may have factored into the autograph grade not receiving a 10.
