CARD: EX-MT 6 (EXCELLENT-MINT 6) cards exhibit very slight wear visible upon close inspection, typically limited to the corners or edges. The surface may show subtle printing imperfections or minor handling marks. Centering must be approximately 80/20 or better. Despite the light flaws, the card maintains strong visual appeal, clean focus, and retains much of its original gloss. This grade reflects a well-preserved card that shows minimal evidence of use while remaining attractive for display or collection.

AUTO: 9 (MINT) indicates a high-quality signature that is clean, bold, and visually appealing. The autograph displays only minor imperfections such as a faint skip, tiny smudge, or slight inconsistency in ink flow, but none that significantly detract from its overall presentation. A PSA 9 autograph is considered nearly perfect and is highly desirable for collectors seeking strong signature quality.

QUALITY ASSESSMENT

---

The card features the recognizable "Spectrum of Stars" branding with a glossy, full-color photograph of Tony Burton mid-pose, fist raised in a playful fighting stance. The gold and teal layout frames him between faux studio lights, creating a tribute-like aesthetic consistent with the Upper Deck celebrity series.

The autograph is signed in vivid red ink, positioned directly below the clapperboard prop. The inscription "DUKE IN ROCKY" is well-placed above the autograph and legible. While the card surface and corners exhibit some handling consistent with the EX-MT 6 grade, the signature itself is clean and evenly applied, warranting the strong PSA 9 autograph grade.
