Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
10/10The yellow-bordered upper-left corner retains a pointed outline with no confirmed white fiber or rounding visible at the available resolution.
At the upper-right junction of the yellow frame and black background, the apex appears crisp and flat with no confirmed lifting.
The lower-left yellow corner shows a clean angular tip; glare is present nearby but no physical whitening is confirmed.
The lower-right corner maintains its yellow coating and defined geometry without visible rounding or compression.
Analysis: All four front corners were checked for fiber exposure, rounding, lift, and compression. The yellow border reaches each visible apex cleanly, with no confirmed handling defect.
Edges
8/10The upper yellow edge runs smoothly beside the black background, with no confirmed chipping or fiber exposure.
Along the lower yellow edge, the coating appears continuous and the cut line remains straight without visible roughness.
The left yellow edge is intact from corner to corner; nearby brightness is consistent with reflection rather than localized whitening.
The right perimeter shows a clean yellow border with no confirmed isolated flecks, chipping, or fuzzing.
Location: front bottom edge
A tiny light-colored fiber or exposed cardstock fleck protrudes from the bottom cut edge near the center-right.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The full front perimeter was scanned for whitening, chips, roughness, and fuzzing. The yellow edges appear continuous and factory-cut, with reflective brightness not treated as damage. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: faint whitening visible only under magnification (bottom edge) — this score reflects those findings.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The front surface was scanned across the artwork, text area, and border for scratches, dots, scuffs, indentations, and print disruption. No physical surface defect is confirmed at the available image resolution.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
10/10The card-relative upper-left back corner, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, remains sharply formed against the blue border.
The card-relative upper-right back corner presents a clean blue perimeter and intact pointed outline.
The card-relative lower-left back corner shows a defined blue tip with no confirmed cardstock exposure or bend.
The card-relative lower-right back corner is sharp against the blue frame, with no visible lift or material loss.
Analysis: The four back corners were individually checked against the blue perimeter for whitening, rounding, and structural displacement. No confirmed corner defect is visible.
Edges
7/10The top blue edge is straight and visually continuous, with no confirmed white flecks along its length.
The bottom blue edge remains even beneath the Poké Ball artwork and shows no confirmed coating loss.
The card-relative left back edge, shown on the right side of the photograph, appears smooth and intact against the black background.
The card-relative right back edge, shown on the left side of the photograph, retains a solid blue finish without visible chipping.
Location: back bottom edge
A visibly rough white exposed section runs along the lower-right curved edge.

Visible white fiber exposure and abrasion along the rounded lower-left blue border and corner.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back right edge
Several small white flecks are visible along the dark blue right edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back right edge
White edge exposure is visible at the lower-right rounded corner and adjacent bottom edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: All four back edges were examined from corner to corner for whitening, roughness, and material loss. No confirmed edge defect is visible. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (bottom edge); moderate whitening (left edge); moderate whitening (right edge) +1 more — this score reflects those findings.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: back lower-right area of the surface
White fiber exposure is visible along the lower-right rounded corner and bottom blue border.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back surface was checked across the blue field, logo, and Poké Ball for linear damage, dull patches, dents, and discoloration. No confirmed handling defect is visible.
