Pokemon Trading Card Game

Nidoqueen 1st Edition

Could someone help me determine whether this CGC 9.5 Nidoqueen 1st Edition actually has damage, or if what I’m seeing might be a printing or factory defect? The left and bottom edges appear to have areas that look like missing ink or paint rather than typical edge wear. If this is considered actual damage, I’m also confused as to how the card still received a 9.5 grade. I’d really appreciate any insight from people familiar with CGC defect standards or vintage Pokémon print defects.
