— From card back
Front
Centering Measurements
Excellent front centering: left/right is approximately 54/46 and top/bottom approximately 52/48, with the left yellow border subtly wider. The measured borders remain within the 55/45 threshold.
Back
Centering Measurements
Good back centering: the inner red frame shows an approximately 56/44 left/right relationship and about 52/48 top/bottom. The horizontal shift is minor and produces no back-centering penalty beyond the front-based assessment.

Corners
7/10The top-left yellow corner is partly obscured by the holder, with visible edge texture and slight softening at the exposed apex.
The top-right corner retains a generally defined point, though the yellow border shows minor edge wear under the available glare.
The bottom-left corner is rounded slightly at the yellow frame and does not retain a fully crisp apex.
The bottom-right yellow corner remains mostly intact with mild softening visible along the outer point.
Analysis: Front corners show visible softening at the top-left and bottom-left points, with lighter wear also present at the opposite tips. The affected corners are not structurally lifted, but the multiple worn points place the front corner score at 7. This face shows 7/10 to match the corners score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Edges
7/10The top yellow edge has scattered pale wear near the left side and a generally straight factory cut across the remaining length.
The bottom yellow edge is intact overall but has light wear toward the lower-left and lower-right sections.
The left yellow edge displays visible uneven pale wear along portions of its length, especially toward the upper half.
The right yellow edge is comparatively clean, with a straight outline and only isolated light flecking near the corner regions.
Analysis: Front edge wear is most apparent along the left and upper yellow perimeter, while the right side remains comparatively cleaner. The distributed whitening is visible but not accompanied by heavy chipping or delamination, producing a score of 7. This face shows 7/10 to match the edges score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Location: front lower-right area of the surface
A small pale exposed-looking area is visible along the right outer edge near the lower-right corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Front surface inspection across the yellow header, purple artwork panel, text area, and lower rules finds no confirmed linear scratch or indentation. Broad bright areas are consistent with glare and card finish rather than localized surface damage.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
7/10The physical top-left back corner appears rounded at the outer blue field, with the red frame remaining intact nearby.
The top-right back corner is defined but shows a slight pale abrasion along the blue perimeter.
The bottom-left back corner maintains its general shape with mild rounding at the outer blue edge.
The bottom-right back corner is visibly softened but remains intact, with no missing piece evident.
Analysis: Back corners show moderate rounding at the top-left and bottom-right, with lighter wear at the remaining points. No lifted or folded corner is visible, but the distributed rounding supports a back corner score of 7. This face shows 7/10 to match the corners score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Edges
7/10The top blue back edge is mostly straight with a few pale interruptions near the left and right corner areas.
The bottom blue edge remains intact but shows small light marks near the lower corners.
The physical left back edge, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, shows intermittent pale wear along its length.
The physical right back edge, appearing on the left side of the back photograph, is cleaner than the opposite edge with minor tip wear.
Analysis: Back edge condition is strongest along the top and bottom runs, with more noticeable intermittent whitening on the physical left edge. No continuous chipping or material loss is visible; the distributed edge wear supports a score of 7. This face shows 7/10 to match the edges score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: The blue Poké Ball artwork and red frame remain visually continuous across the inspected back surface. Reflected light affects the center, but no physical surface mark is sufficiently confirmed for a defect deduction.
