Card Description
“Pokémon Trading Card Game card back with ©1996 Nintendo, ©1996 Creatures inc., and ©1996 GAME FREAK inc. copyright text.”
— From card back
Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering with approximate 48/52 left-right and 48/52 top-bottom ratios, both within the 55/45 threshold. The yellow outer border remains nearly uniform around the printed field.
Back
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. Perfect internal alignment for the asymmetric back design. Centering ratios are not applicable because the radial artwork and white beams are intentionally uneven, with no uniform opposing border to measure.
Front Side
Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
9/10Examined against the yellow outer frame at available image resolution; the apex remains pointed with no confirmed fiber exposure, rounding, or lift.
The upper-right yellow corner retains a crisp meeting point and intact color, with no visible compression or coating loss after close inspection.
At the lower-left junction of the yellow border, the corner geometry appears sharp and flat with no white fiber or edge separation detected.
The bottom-right yellow corner is well defined; the tip shows no confirmed whitening, rounding, or structural lift at the available resolution.
Analysis: All four front corners were individually examined for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. The yellow border reaches each visible apex cleanly, with no confirmed handling defect. This face shows 9/10 because the overall grade is held at 9: it was photographed inside a rigid holder, which prevents a fully verified surface and edge inspection.
Edges
9/10The upper yellow edge presents a continuous factory-cut line with consistent color and no isolated whitening, chipping, or fuzzing.
Along the lower yellow perimeter, the cut remains straight and intact beneath the attack text area, with no confirmed exposed cardstock.
The left yellow edge is clean from corner to corner; the bright border remains continuous without a visible fleck or rough segment.
The right-side yellow perimeter shows a smooth, unbroken cut beside the artwork and lower text field, with no confirmed edge damage.
Analysis: All four front edges were scanned across their full visible lengths for whitening, chipping, roughness, and fuzzing. No confirmed edge defect is visible. This face shows 9/10 because the overall grade is held at 9: it was photographed inside a rigid holder, which prevents a fully verified surface and edge inspection.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: The front surface was scanned across the artwork, text fields, border, and attack sections for scratches, dots, gloss breaks, stains, and indentations. The visible reflections are diffuse and do not form card-confined damage lines. This face shows 9/10 because the overall grade is held at 9: it was photographed inside a rigid holder, which prevents a fully verified surface and edge inspection.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
9/10The physical top-left corner, corresponding to the right side of the back photograph, remains square against the blue-and-white frame with no visible fiber exposure.
The physical top-right corner at the left side of the back photograph shows a clean, pointed profile and no confirmed whitening or bend.
The physical bottom-left corner is formed cleanly where the blue field meets the card edge; no rounding or lifted tip is visible.
The physical bottom-right corner retains its angular outline beside the lower blue field, without a confirmed white fiber or compression mark.
Analysis: The four physical back corners were checked using the blue field, white radial beams, and red inset frame as references. No confirmed corner wear, bending, or material loss is visible. This face shows 9/10 because the overall grade is held at 9: it was photographed inside a rigid holder, which prevents a fully verified surface and edge inspection.
Edges
9/10The physical top edge remains straight across the blue card-back field, with the red inset line set inside the edge and no visible chipping.
The lower blue edge beneath the copyright text appears intact and evenly cut, without exposed white stock or a rough section.
The physical left edge, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, follows a clean blue perimeter with no confirmed whitening.
The physical right edge, appearing on the left side of the back photograph, remains smooth beside the red frame and shows no visible material loss.
Analysis: The back edges were inspected from corner to corner against the blue-and-white printed field. The red inset frame is printed inside the cut line, and no confirmed edge wear or roughness is visible. This face shows 9/10 because the overall grade is held at 9: it was photographed inside a rigid holder, which prevents a fully verified surface and edge inspection.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: The full back surface was reviewed across the radial artwork, Poké Ball, banner, and copyright area. The visible highlights follow the lighting and remain broad rather than forming a physical surface defect. This face shows 9/10 because the overall grade is held at 9: it was photographed inside a rigid holder, which prevents a fully verified surface and edge inspection.
