Special Features
Front
Centering Measurements
Excellent front centering, with estimated left/right proportions of 52/48 and top/bottom proportions of 54/46. The yellow outer border remains visibly present on all four sides without a pronounced manufacturing shift.
Back
Centering Measurements
Excellent back centering, with estimated left/right proportions of 54/46 and top/bottom proportions of 53/47. The mirrored horizontal shift is consistent with the card's physical flip and does not materially limit the centering score.

Corners
7/10The upper-left yellow border corner has a defined apex with a small bright area at the tip that may represent minor whitening.
The top-right yellow border corner retains its overall shape, with slight softness visible at the outer tip.
The lower-left corner remains intact but shows minor edge wear where the yellow border meets the card perimeter.
The bottom-right corner is structurally intact, though the tip appears mildly softened against the yellow frame.
Analysis: Front corners show minor wear at multiple tips, including small bright points and slight softening against the yellow border. No lift, fold, or visibly displaced corner is present; the count of close-inspection flaws places the front corner score at 8. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 7/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
7/10The top yellow edge is continuous overall, with small pale interruptions near the upper corners.
The bottom yellow edge is visibly worn in scattered points beneath the lower text panel, while the factory cut remains straight.
The left yellow edge remains straight but shows light exposure at isolated sections beside the artwork.
The right yellow edge has minor pale points near the middle and lower sections, without visible delamination.
Analysis: Front edges show distributed whitening, most evident along the lower yellow edge beneath the text panel. The edges remain straight and intact without chipping severe enough to indicate material loss; the more noticeable bottom-edge wear limits the score to 7. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 7/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
7/10No analysis available
Location: front artwork area, upper-center and center-right
Upper-center to center-right artwork → several fine linear disruptions visible across the lavender reflective field → short-to-medium scattered lines → pale highlights interrupt the purple and blue artwork.
Location: front holographic artwork, center and lower-right
Center and lower-right artwork → multiple light specks distinct from the printed bubbles and pattern → scattered small spots → pale white marks against lavender and blue background colors.
Location: front lower-left area of the surface
Small pale fiber exposure is visible along the lower-left cut edge near the rounded corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The front surface retains its reflective finish but shows multiple visible linear marks and scattered pale surface specks in the artwork field. The marks are more than a single close-inspection flaw and limit the front surface score to 7.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
7/10The physical top-left back corner, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, shows a small white spot at the blue border tip.
The physical top-right back corner, appearing on the left side of the back photograph, is slightly rounded with a pale edge at the point.
The lower-left physical back corner has a mostly intact blue frame with a trace of light showing at the tip.
The lower-right physical back corner retains its geometry but shows minor whitening along the outer blue edge.
Location: back top-left corner
A visible pale, rough-looking strip with dark flecks runs along the exposed left cut edge below the corner.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back bottom-left corner
Multiple light flecks are visible along the dark exposed left edge near the bottom-left corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Back corners display minor whitening or softening at several blue-border tips, most visible against the dark frame. No structural corner lift or bend is visible, but the distributed close-inspection wear supports a score of 7. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 7/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
7/10The top blue back edge is intact but contains a few pale flecks against the dark blue border.
The bottom blue edge remains straight, with light wear concentrated near the corner transitions.
The physical left back edge, shown on the right side of the back photograph, exhibits scattered pale wear along the blue perimeter.
The physical right back edge, shown on the left side of the back photograph, has small whitening points but retains a clean straight outline.
Location: back left edge
A continuous rough, light cardstock strip with scattered fiber flecks is visible along the dark left border.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back left edge
The left edge shows a visibly rough light cardstock strip with multiple exposed flecks along the dark border.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back left edge
Multiple light flecks and exposed cardstock are visible along the dark left cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Back edges show several visible whitening points against the blue frame, with the physical left edge carrying the most noticeable concentration. The outline remains straight without delamination or major chipping, resulting in a score of 7. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 7/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
8/10No analysis available
Location: back surface, upper-right blue field
Upper-right blue field near the logo area → small pale surface points distinct from the printed design → scattered limited extent → light marks against the dark blue background.
Location: back surface, lower-left and center areas
Lower-left to center back → faint short linear marks visible within the glossy blue field → close-inspection extent → pale reflective lines against navy and blue artwork.
Location: back upper-left area of the surface
Multiple pale flecks and rough exposed cardstock are visible along the dark left border.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back lower-left area of the surface
A continuous light exposed strip with small flecks is visible along the dark left edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back surface is generally intact but contains a few localized pale points and faint short lines beyond the broad photographic glare. No structural surface deformation is confirmed; the multiple minor findings support a score of 8.
