Special Features
Front
Centering Measurements
Good centering with approximately 52/48 left-right and 55/45 top-bottom spacing, with top-bottom as the limiting axis. The reflective frame is decorative rather than a fully uniform border, so design anchors were used and the score is limited to 9.
Back
Centering Measurements
Good centering at approximately 52/48 left-right and 55/45 top-bottom, with the top-bottom axis limiting the result. The blue back border remains consistently positioned around the printed field.
Front Side
Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
10/10The upper-left silver frame corner retains a defined apex with no confirmed fiber exposure, rounding, or lift visible at the available image resolution.
At the upper-right corner beside the HP panel, the silver border meets cleanly with intact geometry and no confirmed whitening or compression.
The lower-left corner beside the card-number area remains pointed; glare is present nearby, but no physical fiber exposure or bending is confirmed.
The lower-right corner near the Pokémon ex rule box shows a clean outline without observable rounding, edge lift, or cardstock exposure.
Analysis: All four front corners were checked for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. The silver foil frame remains sharply defined at each apex with no confirmed handling wear.
Edges
10/10The upper silver edge around the Empoleon ex name panel appears straight and continuous; bright bands are consistent with foil reflection rather than coating loss.
The lower edge beneath the weakness and retreat strip remains visually continuous, with no confirmed chipping, fuzzing, or isolated white flecks.
Along the left edge beside the artwork and Ability panel, the silver frame remains intact and the edge profile appears clean without confirmed whitening.
The right edge adjacent to the blue-white artwork and HP region shows a straight perimeter with reflective highlights but no confirmed physical edge damage.
Analysis: The front perimeter was scanned from corner to corner for whitening, chipping, roughness, and fuzzing. The visible bright areas follow the reflective foil and do not show confirmed coating loss.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The front surface was scanned across the artwork, text panels, and foil frame for scratches, dents, print defects, and pattern disruption. Reflection bands are broad and lighting-dependent, with no confirmed handling defect.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
10/10The physical top-left back corner, corresponding to the right side of the photographed back face, maintains a crisp blue outline with no confirmed whitening.
The physical top-right back corner shows a clean blue border transition and a defined point without visible rounding or structural lift.
The physical bottom-left corner remains intact against the blue perimeter, with no confirmed fiber strands, chipped coating, or compression.
The physical bottom-right corner has a uniform blue edge meeting and no visible white cardstock, bend, or softened apex.
Analysis: The four physical back corners were examined using the horizontally mirrored card-relative positions. Each retains a defined blue-bordered apex with no confirmed corner wear or structural damage.
Edges
10/10The physical top back edge, visible as the upper edge of the photographed blue border, appears straight with an unbroken blue finish.
The physical bottom back edge beneath the inverted Pokémon logo remains cleanly cut, without visible white flecks or material loss.
The physical left back edge, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, shows a continuous blue perimeter and no confirmed roughness.
The physical right back edge, appearing on the left side of the back photograph, has a smooth blue outline with no confirmed chipping or exposed cardstock.
Analysis: All four physical back edges were reviewed using card-relative naming, with the horizontal image mirroring accounted for. The blue perimeter appears continuous and factory-clean.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The glossy back was examined across the logo, Poké Ball artwork, blue field, and perimeter for surface wear. The visible bright areas are smooth reflections and do not establish physical damage.
