Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: front left/right measures approximately 52/48 and top/bottom approximately 52/48. The yellow outer border remains close to evenly spaced around the artwork.
Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: the back measures approximately 54/46 left/right and 51/49 top/bottom, remaining within the 55/45 threshold. The red inset frame and blue margins show no significant manufacturing shift.
Front Side
Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
9/10The upper-left yellow border meets a defined, intact apex with no visible fiber exposure or lift at the available image resolution.
At the upper-right tip, the yellow coating reaches the corner cleanly and the geometry remains crisp without visible rounding.
The lower-left corner against the yellow frame appears flat and pointed, with no confirmed white fiber or compression mark.
The lower-right yellow corner retains its angular outline; holder glare is present nearby but no physical whitening is confirmed.
Analysis: All four front corners were inspected for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. The yellow border remains intact to each apex, with no confirmed handling defect visible. This face shows 9/10 because the overall grade is held at 9: one of the three independent evaluations scored the corners at 9, noting light rounding (front bottom-right corner), while the others scored it a 10, and Gem Mint needs the evaluations to confirm each other.
Edges
10/10The top yellow edge is continuous from corner to corner, with a clean cut and no confirmed whitening or chipping.
Along the bottom yellow perimeter beneath the attack text, the cut line remains smooth without an identifiable white fleck or rough segment.
The left edge beside the blue artwork border appears straight and intact; holder reflection does not reveal physical edge loss.
The right yellow edge presents an unbroken perimeter around the card with no visible chipping, fuzzing, or whitening.
Analysis: The complete front perimeter was scanned for whitening, chipping, roughness, and fuzzing. No confirmed edge defect is visible through the holder.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: Front zones were checked for scratches, scuffs, dents, stains, and gloss disruption. No confirmed handling mark interrupts the printed Cloyster artwork or text panels.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
9/10The physical top-left back corner, corresponding to the mirrored right side of the image, remains rounded only by the factory profile with no visible material loss.
The physical top-right back corner shows a continuous blue field and red frame with no confirmed white fiber at the tip.
The physical lower-left back corner has a smooth blue perimeter and no visible bend, whitening, or lifted edge.
The physical lower-right back corner maintains its blue-and-red border geometry; no structural distortion is visible.
Analysis: The four back corners were checked independently using the blue outer field and red inset frame as references. No confirmed rounding, fiber exposure, corner lift, or bend is visible. This face shows 9/10 because the overall grade is held at 9: one of the three independent evaluations scored the corners at 9, noting light rounding (front bottom-right corner), while the others scored it a 10, and Gem Mint needs the evaluations to confirm each other.
Edges
10/10The upper blue back edge and red inset line remain straight and continuous, with no physical whitening confirmed.
The lower blue perimeter below the copyright line appears smooth and free of chips or exposed cardstock.
The physical left back edge, appearing on the image-right side after the horizontal flip, retains a clean blue cut with no visible roughness.
The physical right back edge, appearing on the image-left side, shows an unbroken blue border and no confirmed edge wear.
Analysis: All four physical back edges were examined with the horizontal mirror relationship accounted for. The blue perimeter and red frame remain continuous without confirmed whitening, chipping, or fuzzing.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The back surface was scanned across the blue field, white rays, Poké Ball, and copyright area. Variations in the printed swirl pattern are design elements, not surface damage, and no physical defect is confirmed.
