Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: front left/right is approximately 53/47 and top/bottom approximately 51/49. The yellow outer borders remain close to balanced, with the left/right axis limiting but staying within the 55/45 threshold.
Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: the back left/right ratio is approximately 51/49 and top/bottom approximately 53/47. The blue border remains evenly positioned with no meaningful centering penalty.

Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
8/10The upper-left yellow corner retains its general point but shows slight tip softening and a small bright area at the apex.
The upper-right yellow corner is mostly intact, with mild rounding along the outer tip and no visible lift.
The lower-left yellow corner remains defined but appears slightly softened where the border meets the outer edge.
The lower-right yellow corner is intact with modest edge softening and no visible bend or corner lift.
Analysis: The front corners show minor softening across multiple yellow-bordered tips rather than one isolated flaw. No crease, folded corner, or visible lift is present; the count of close-inspection corner wear places the face at 8. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 8/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
8/10The top yellow edge is continuous overall but shows scattered light wear near the upper border, especially toward the right side.
The bottom yellow edge remains straight with minor softening and small areas of coating wear near the lower corners.
The left yellow edge appears cleanly cut, with slight wear concentrated near the lower-left transition.
The right yellow edge is straight and intact but has a few subtle pale interruptions visible along the outer perimeter.
Analysis: Minor isolated edge whitening is visible along multiple yellow front edges, while the factory cut remains straight and there is no delamination. The distributed close-inspection wear supports an edge score of 8.
Surface
7/10No analysis available
Location: upper-center artwork and title area
Several visible linear and cloudy surface interruptions cross the glossy printed field, including marks above and around the Ivysaur illustration.
Location: center artwork and lower text field
The front surface shows localized loss of uniform sheen and fine abrasion-like texture across the artwork and green text area, distinct from the broad lighting reflection.
Analysis: Front surface wear is plainly visible across multiple regions, including fine linear marks and uneven gloss over the artwork and lower green text field. The broad bright band is treated as photographic reflection, while the localized surface interruptions support a score of 7.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
8/10The physical upper-left back corner, corresponding to the right side of the back photograph, appears rounded slightly against the blue border.
The physical upper-right back corner shows mild tip wear, while the blue border remains largely continuous.
The physical lower-left back corner retains its shape but has a visibly softened outer point against the blue frame.
The physical lower-right back corner is slightly rounded at the blue border, with no apparent structural lift.
Analysis: All four back corners retain their material and remain structurally intact, but each shows some degree of close-inspection softening. No corner lift, fold, or missing material is visible; the distributed minor wear supports a score of 8. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 8/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
8/10The upper blue back edge is mostly continuous but shows small pale interruptions near the right-side corner area.
The lower blue back edge remains straight, with mild wear visible toward the corner transitions.
The physical left back edge, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, has a clean outline with slight perimeter wear.
The physical right back edge, appearing on the left side of the back photograph, is intact but not uniformly dark blue along its full length.
Analysis: The back edges show scattered minor whitening against the blue border on more than one side. The perimeter remains intact and straight, but the distributed close-inspection wear limits the back edge score to 8.
Surface
7/10No analysis available
Location: upper-center logo area
The blue field around the Pokémon logo shows uneven sheen and multiple localized dull-looking patches beyond the broad light reflection.
Location: center-right Poké Ball area
Fine surface lines are visible across the glossy blue and white design, though they do not penetrate the cardstock.
Location: back upper-left area of the surface
A small light cardstock fleck is visible along the top blue border near the upper center.

Small pale exposed spot at the lower-right rounded corner where the bottom and right edges meet.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back surface has noticeable gloss inconsistency and fine surface wear across the logo and Poké Ball design. No crease, tear, or paper loss is visible, but the multi-region surface wear limits the score to 7.
