Back
Centering Measurements
Excellent. Back centering is approximately 52/48 left-right and 54/46 top-bottom, with a slightly wider lower margin. No back centering penalty applies.

Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
4/10The top-left yellow corner has pronounced whitening and an irregular damaged area adjacent to the printed evolution symbol.
The upper-right yellow corner retains a defined point but shows mild softening along the rounded outer edge.
The lower-left yellow corner is visibly rounded with localized pale edge exposure.
The lower-right corner remains intact but has slight rounding and edge softness.
Analysis: The front corners show substantial damage concentrated at the top-left, with additional rounding at the lower-left and minor softening elsewhere. The top-left corner's material loss and altered geometry set the face score at 4. This face shows 4/10 to match the corners score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Edges
5/10The top yellow edge has an uneven worn section near the left corner with pale cardstock visible.
The bottom yellow edge is broadly intact but shows scattered pale wear near the corners.
The left yellow edge displays irregular coating loss and a visibly roughened section beside the upper artwork.
The right yellow edge is comparatively continuous, with light wear visible toward the upper corner.
Analysis: Front-edge condition is reduced by pronounced coating loss along the upper-left and left edge area, with additional scattered whitening along the lower perimeter. The left edge is the limiting front-edge area. This face shows 5/10 to match the edges score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Surface
6/10No analysis available
Location: front surface, upper border and lower text area
Yellow border and lower text regions → diffuse brownish discoloration and uneven surface appearance → extensive areas → discoloration contrasts with the intended yellow field.
Location: front surface, around the artwork frame and lower border
Scattered pale specks and ink-loss points → multiple small spots → distributed across several regions → pale marks contrast with yellow, blue, and black printed areas.
Analysis: The front surface has widespread visible discoloration and scattered surface speckling, particularly across the yellow border and lower information area. The broad wear pattern limits the front surface score to 6.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
5/10The physical top-left back corner, appearing on the right side of the mirrored back image, remains rounded but intact against the blue field.
The physical top-right back corner shows a gently rounded outline without a missing piece.
The physical bottom-left back corner has visible softening along the blue outer edge.
The physical bottom-right back corner is intact with a subtly softened point.
Analysis: The back corners are intact but not sharp, with the physical bottom-left corner showing the most visible rounding. No corner lift or displaced fold is clearly confirmed from the photographs. This face shows 5/10 to match the corners score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Edges
6/10The top blue back edge is straight with a small amount of pale wear near the left-side transition.
The bottom blue back edge remains continuous, with limited pale wear close to the corners.
The physical left back edge, shown on the right side of the mirrored photograph, has mild pale wear along the blue perimeter.
The physical right back edge, shown on the left side of the mirrored photograph, appears cleanly cut with subtle corner wear.
Analysis: The back edges are mostly continuous and straight, with only isolated pale flecks visible against the blue design. The defects are close-inspection level and do not indicate structural edge failure. This face shows 6/10 to match the edges score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Surface
7/10No analysis available
Location: back surface, lower-left and center areas
Several pale specks and small irregular marks interrupt the blue field → multiple localized spots → distributed across the lower and central regions → pale marks contrast with the dark blue background.
Location: back surface, lower-center area
Subtle uneven discoloration around the copyright text → small diffuse patch → localized area → muted brown-red tone contrasts with the surrounding blue print.
Analysis: The back surface is more intact than the front but contains multiple visible pale specks and localized discoloration. These findings correspond to moderate visible surface wear and set the back score at 7.
