## Card Condition Analysis

Please evaluate this individual physical review alongside the high-resolution front and back listing photographs provided:

* **Overall Evaluation:** Excellent (EX) condition.

* **Front Visuals:** Exceptionally vibrant color printing displaying the Greek women in traditional ancient dress lighting the flame. The color registration remains bright and clean with crisp gold-toned hues.

* **Corners:** Show light, uniform aging wear typical of pre-war card stock, but completely free of severe corner rounding, pinholes, or layering.

* **Edges:** Straight and crisp on all four sides with minimal handling wear along the perimeters.

* **Surface:** Smooth face with minimal handling wear. Free of severe scuffs, scratches, or deep wrinkles.

* **Rear Text:** Excellent condition. The German biographical text detailing the historic event on July 20th—where the flame was gathered using a concave mirror from the sun's rays—is fully legible. Features the standard Lodix shoe polish advertisement graphics. Notably unpasted with no major backing paper loss, thinning, or scrapbook residue.
