Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: front left/right and top/bottom borders are each approximately 52/48, within the 55/45 threshold. The yellow border remains consistently visible around the artwork.
Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: the blue back border measures approximately 52/48 left/right and 50/50 top/bottom. No centering penalty applies.
Front Side
Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
9/10The upper-left yellow corner retains a defined point with no confirmed fiber exposure or rounding visible through the holder.
At the upper-right yellow frame, the apex appears crisp and flat with no visible lift or color loss.
The lower-left corner meets the yellow border cleanly; no compression, whitening, or softening is confirmed.
The lower-right yellow corner remains pointed and aligned, with no visible structural distortion.
Analysis: Front corners were individually checked for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. All four yellow-border corner tips appear sharp and flat at the available image resolution. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
10/10The yellow top edge is straight and continuous from corner to corner, with no confirmed chipping or roughness.
The lower yellow perimeter remains even beneath the text panel, with no visible cardstock exposure along the cut.
The left yellow edge beside the green holo border appears clean and factory-cut; bright reflections are consistent with the holder.
The right yellow edge bordering the green artwork is straight with no confirmed isolated whitening or edge chip.
Analysis: All four front edges were scanned along their full visible lengths. The yellow perimeter appears smooth and unbroken; holder glare was not treated as card whitening.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The holo pattern and printed text remain intact across the artwork, ability panel, and lower text area. Glare limits certainty in portions of the foil but does not provide sufficient evidence of card-surface damage.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
9/10The physical upper-left back corner, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, shows a clean blue apex without confirmed whitening.
The physical upper-right back corner retains its angular blue border and shows no visible bend or lifted tip.
The physical lower-left corner has a continuous blue edge into the tip, with no confirmed fiber exposure.
The physical lower-right corner appears intact and flat against the blue frame, without clear rounding or material loss.

Each blue corner appears intact, pointed, and free of confirmed structural damage. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
10/10The blue upper edge presents a uniform factory-cut line without visible fuzzing or coating loss.
Along the blue lower edge, the cut remains straight and continuous with no confirmed white flecks.
The physical left back edge, shown on the right side of the mirrored photograph, retains an even blue finish.
The physical right back edge is visible on the photograph's left side and shows no definite chipping or rough texture.
Location: back bottom edge
Small localized light fiber exposure is visible at the outer bottom-right corner of the dark border.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back left edge
A few tiny light flecks are visible along the left cut edge near the rounded upper corner.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back top edge
A faint narrow vertical scratch is visible on the gray card surface near the rounded right corner.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back right edge
White cardstock exposure and a slightly ragged chip are visible at the lower end of the dark-blue edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back perimeter was inspected across all four card-relative edges. The blue edge coating appears continuous and the outline remains straight, with no confirmed edge wear.
