Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: front left/right is approximately 52/48 and top/bottom approximately 55/45, with the top/bottom axis limiting. The yellow outer frame remains closely balanced around the artwork.
Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: the back measures approximately 50/50 left/right and 52/48 top/bottom. The blue perimeter frame is evenly positioned around the central Poké Ball design.

Corners
8/10The yellow frame reaches a defined apex with no clearly resolved fiber exposure, rounding, or lift at the available image resolution.
The upper-right yellow corner retains a pointed profile; no confirmed whitening or compression is visible through the sleeve.
The lower-left corner remains angular against the pale yellow border, with no visible bend, tip loss, or raised edge.
The bottom-right yellow frame corner appears crisp and flat, without a confirmed white fiber or rounded apex.
Location: front top-left corner
A small white cardstock fleck is visible on the dark outer border near the upper-left cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front bottom-left corner
Multiple white flecks and roughened exposure are visible along the dark lower-left cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: All four front corners retain defined geometry with no confirmed whitening, rounding, compression, or lift. Sleeve reflections are present near the perimeter but are not interpreted as corner damage. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: faint whitening visible only under magnification (top-left corner); moderate whitening (bottom-left corner) — this score reflects those findings.
Edges
7/10The top yellow edge is straight across the header area; no confirmed continuous whitening, chipping, or fuzzing is visible.
The lower yellow perimeter beneath the text panel appears even and factory cut, with no distinct white flecks resolved along the edge.
The left edge beside the artwork and stage panel remains visually continuous; sleeve glare limits fine texture assessment but no physical whitening is confirmed.
The right yellow edge next to the HP and artwork areas appears straight and intact, without a visible chip or rough section.
Location: front top edge
A small white exposed fleck is visible on the dark top edge near the left side.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front bottom edge
Several white flecks and uneven exposed cardstock are visible along the dark bottom edge near the left side.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front left edge
A visible rough white run exposes the cut edge along the lower portion of the left border.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front left edge
Multiple white exposed flecks are visible along the dark upper-left corner and left cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The front perimeter appears clean and straight across all four edges. No confirmed edge whitening, chipping, fuzzing, or material loss is visible; confidence is moderated by the protective sleeve. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: faint whitening visible only under magnification (top edge); moderate whitening (bottom edge); moderate whitening (left edge) +1 more — this score reflects those findings.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: front upper-left area of the surface
A small white fleck is visible on the dark outer border near the upper-left edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The front surface presents clean printed artwork and consistent gloss across the visible regions. No confirmed handling defect is distinguishable from the sleeve reflections at the available image resolution.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
8/10The physical top-left corner maintains a rounded factory profile within the blue frame, with no confirmed cardstock exposure.
The top-right blue corner appears intact and flat; no distinct whitening or corner deformation is resolved.
The lower-left corner shows a continuous blue border into the apex, without a visible chip, bend, or lift.
The bottom-right blue corner remains cleanly shaped, with no confirmed fiber exposure against the surrounding blue field.
Location: back top-left corner
Multiple small white flecks are visible along the dark blue top-left border and corner cut.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back bottom-left corner
A localized pale rough-looking patch is visible along the lower-left rounded blue border near the cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The four back corners appear intact and flat, with no confirmed rounding, whitening, or structural deformation. Small bright points around the sleeve are treated as photographic or holder artifacts rather than card defects. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (top-left corner); moderate whitening (bottom-left corner) — this score reflects those findings.
Edges
8/10The physical top edge of the blue back frame is straight with a consistent blue boundary and no confirmed white exposure.
The lower blue edge remains continuous around the Poké Ball graphic, without visible roughness or coating loss.
The physical left edge presents an unbroken blue perimeter; isolated bright pixels are consistent with sleeve or image artifacts rather than card whitening.
The right blue edge is visibly straight and intact from corner to corner, with no confirmed chip, nick, or exposed cardstock.
Analysis: The back edges show a continuous blue frame with no confirmed whitening, chipping, roughness, or delamination. Bright reflections along the sleeve are excluded from the card assessment. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 8/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: back upper-left area of the surface
A few small white flecks are visible along the upper-left blue border.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back surface appears clean and intact across the blue field and central graphic. Reflection patterns do not form card-boundary scratches or structural lines.
