Special Features
Front
Centering Measurements
This card’s artwork runs to the edge with no even printed border, so there is no border ratio to measure. Centering is not counted against the grade on a design like this. Excellent internal alignment on the full-art front; no even border exists for a numeric border ratio. The title area and lower attack panel show only a slight positional imbalance.
Back
Centering Measurements
Excellent back centering with approximately 52/48 left-right and 54/46 top-bottom proportions. The Pokémon logo and blue border remain well positioned within the cut.

Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
7/10The upper-left corner is rounded through the holder, with a small bright exposed area against the silver-blue frame.
The upper-right corner retains a mostly defined point, though the outer tip shows slight softening and reflective obstruction.
The lower-left corner shows pronounced rounding with visible pale material along the curved tip.
The lower-right corner is softened and irregular, with visible light exposure along the tip and adjacent edge.
Location: front top-right corner
Irregular white exposed material is visible along the dark right border just below the top-right corner.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front bottom-left corner
A jagged light exposed area and uneven fiber-like wear are visible along the left edge near the lower-left area.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front bottom-right corner
Several white exposed flecks and rough patches run along the dark right edge near the bottom-right area.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Front corners show visible rounding at the upper-left and both lower corners, with additional softening at the upper-right. The weakest front condition is moderate corner wear, producing a face score of 7. This face shows 7/10 to match the corners score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Edges
7/10The top front edge follows the silver-blue frame and shows scattered bright interruptions, partly affected by top-loader reflection.
The bottom front edge has visible irregular pale exposure and rough-looking sections beneath the attack text.
The left front edge displays multiple bright spots and an uneven perimeter from the upper section through the lower-left area.
The right front edge shows intermittent light exposure beside the water artwork, with holder glare complicating the outermost line.
Location: front right edge
A conspicuous irregular white exposed-material patch runs along the dark right card edge in the upper-middle portion.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front left edge
Multiple attached white rough patches and exposed material are visible along the dark left edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Front edges show distributed visible whitening and irregularity rather than a single isolated fleck. Holder glare limits exact edge resolution, but the observed perimeter wear supports a score of 7.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Location: front upper-right area of the surface
Visible white fiber exposure and rough wear run along the right card edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front lower-left area of the surface
Irregular white cardstock exposure is visible along the left card edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front lower-right area of the surface
Multiple attached white flecks and roughness are visible along the right card edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The holographic pattern across Wailord and the water background appears generally continuous, but glare and reflective bands limit certainty. No physical surface damage is confirmed in the submitted image; the score is 9 because of visibility limitations.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
8/10The upper-left back corner has a rounded silhouette but no clearly visible tear or lift through the holder.
The upper-right back corner appears intact with a defined blue outer curve and no confirmed material loss.
The lower-left back corner is mildly softened, while the blue border remains continuous around the point.
The lower-right back corner shows a gently rounded outline without a visible crease or detached section.
Analysis: Back corners are generally intact but show mild rounding at three locations, particularly the lower corners. No lift, tear, or structural bend is confirmed; the back corner score is 8. This face shows 8/10 to match the corners score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Edges
8/10The top back edge appears mostly straight with a continuous blue border and no clearly confirmed chip.
The lower back edge remains visually continuous, though the holder reflection softens the boundary near the corners.
The left back edge is predominantly clean blue with minor rounded-corner transitions and no distinct white chip visible.
The right back edge retains an even blue perimeter, with glare present but no confirmed isolated whitening.
Location: back top edge
Multiple small white flecks and a slightly rough exposed line are visible along the dark top cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back left edge
A narrow continuous whitish/fibrous exposure follows the dark left cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Back edges appear substantially cleaner than the front, with a continuous blue perimeter and no confirmed discrete whitening. Reflections reduce certainty, so the back edge score is 9 rather than 10. This face shows 8/10 to match the edges score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: back upper-right area of the surface
The visible top dark border shows a run of light exposed material and roughness along the cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back surface appears clean across the logo, Poké Ball, and surrounding blue field. Close inspection of the available photo reveals no confirmed surface defect, supporting a score of 10.
