Corners
9/10The yellow corner apex remains pointed with no confirmed white fiber exposure or rounding visible at the available image resolution.
At the yellow frame's upper-right junction, the corner retains crisp geometry and shows no confirmed lift, bend, or whitening.
The lower-left yellow corner appears cleanly cut, with the border extending to the tip and no visible softening.
The lower-right apex is defined against the yellow border and remains flat, without visible fiber exposure or compression.
Analysis: All four front corners were checked for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. The yellow border reaches each sharp apex without a confirmed handling defect. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
9/10The upper yellow edge is straight and continuous from corner to corner, with no confirmed chipping or white flecks.
Along the lower yellow perimeter, the factory cut appears smooth and uninterrupted without visible fiber exposure.
The left yellow edge beside the artwork maintains a clean linear cut and consistent color with no confirmed roughness.
The right yellow edge bordering the gray text panel remains intact and visually even, with no visible whitening or material loss.
Analysis: All four front edges were scanned across their full lengths for whitening, chipping, fuzzing, and roughness. The yellow perimeter appears smooth and intact. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The holofoil surface was reviewed across the artwork, text panel, borders, and reflective regions for scratches, scuffs, print lines, dents, and pattern disruption. No confirmed handling defect is visible at the available image resolution.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
8/10The physical top-left corner, shown on the right side of the back photograph, remains rounded only by the factory geometry and shows no confirmed whitening.
The physical top-right corner, shown on the left side of the back photograph, has a clean blue perimeter and no visible bend or exposed cardstock.
The physical bottom-left corner presents a continuous blue frame with a defined tip and no confirmed corner wear.
The physical bottom-right corner is sharply formed against the blue border, with no visible lift, rounding, or white fiber.
Location: back bottom-right corner
Small white fiber exposure is visible along the outer right edge just above the rounded bottom-right corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The four physical back corners were inspected using card-relative positions, including the mirrored left-right presentation. No confirmed whitening, rounding, or structural corner damage is visible. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (bottom-right corner) — this score reflects those findings.
Edges
8/10The physical top back edge, visible along the lower side of the rotated back image, shows a continuous blue cut with no confirmed whitening.
The physical bottom back edge retains an even blue line around the Pokémon logo area, without visible chips or fuzzing.
The physical left back edge, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, is straight and consistently blue with no confirmed edge wear.
The physical right back edge, appearing on the left side of the back photograph, remains cleanly cut and free of visible white cardstock exposure.
Location: back top edge
The top edge has a visibly uneven notched section near the center-left.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The blue back perimeter was examined edge by edge, including the mirrored card-relative sides. No confirmed whitening, chipping, or roughness is visible. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate chip (top edge) — this score reflects those findings.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: back lower-right area of the surface
Several tiny white flecks are visible along the blue right border near the outer edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The blue back surface was examined across the logo, central Poké Ball, white field, and perimeter for linear marks, dots, scuffs, and indentations. No confirmed physical surface defect is visible.
