Front
Centering Measurements

Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: the blue back border is approximately 50/50 left/right and 51/49 top/bottom. The back remains comfortably within the 75/25 requirement for a centering score of 10.
Front Side
Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
9/10The upper-left silver frame corner retains a clean, pointed outline with no visible white fiber or rounding.
At the HP and Lightning-symbol side, the top-right corner appears sharp and flat with the silver border intact.
The lower-left corner beside the weakness text shows a defined apex without visible whitening, compression, or lift.
The lower-right corner near the retreat area remains angular and clean, with no apparent edge break.
Analysis: All four front corners were examined at the available image resolution for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. The silver frame reaches each sharp apex without confirmed handling wear. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
9/10The top silver edge above the Helioptile name appears straight and continuous, without visible chipping or roughness.
Along the lower silver edge beneath the copyright line, the cut appears even and no white flecks are confirmed.
The left frame edge beside the artwork maintains a consistent silver strip with no visible coating loss.
The right edge alongside the HP and artwork area remains straight, smooth, and free of confirmed whitening.
Analysis: The complete front perimeter was scanned for whitening, chips, fuzzing, and irregular cutting. No confirmed edge defect is visible through the holder. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: The front surface was reviewed across the artwork, text bands, and lower information area for scratches, print defects, indentation, and pattern disruption. No physical surface defect is confirmed at the available image resolution. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
9/10The physical top-left back corner, corresponding to the right side of the flipped image, appears smoothly rounded by design with no whitening visible.
The top-right physical back corner beside the blue border maintains a crisp outline and lies flat.
The lower-left physical back corner shows continuous blue color to the apex without exposed cardstock.
The lower-right physical back corner is cleanly formed, with no visible bend, tip whitening, or corner lift.
Analysis: The four physical back corners were checked using the blue outer border as the reference for whitening and shape. No confirmed rounding, fiber exposure, lift, or structural corner damage is visible. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
9/10The blue top back edge is continuous and clean along the Pokémon logo area, with no visible material loss.
The lower blue back edge presents an unbroken factory-cut line with no confirmed white specks.
The physical left back edge, appearing on the right side of the flipped photograph, remains even and blue throughout.
The physical right back edge, appearing on the left side of the image, shows a smooth blue border without chipping or fuzzing.
Analysis: All four physical back edges were reviewed from corner to corner against the blue border. No confirmed whitening, chipping, roughness, or structural edge deformation is visible. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: The back surface was scanned region by region, including the logo, central Poké Ball, blue border, and white swirl areas. Visible reflection variation is broad and lighting-related rather than a defined card defect. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
