Special Features
Front

Centering Measurements
This card’s artwork runs to the edge with no even printed border, so there is no border ratio to measure. Centering is not counted against the grade on a design like this. Good centering based on internal design anchors because the front is full-art and has no uniform border to measure. The printed title, artwork frame, and lower text areas show no pronounced manufacturing shift.
Back

Centering Measurements
Good back centering at approximately 54/46 left-right and 51/49 top-bottom, with the right blue border modestly wider. The measured shift remains within the near-excellent range.

Corners
10/10The upper-left full-art corner retains a defined point against the blue and silver frame, with no confirmed fiber exposure or rounding.
At the top-right near the HP panel, the silver edge remains visually intact and the apex shows no confirmed lift, bend, or white fiber.
The lower-left corner beside the blue artwork edge appears pointed and flat, without visible coating loss at the tip.
The lower-right corner near the retreat area remains structurally aligned, with no confirmed rounding or cardstock exposure.
Analysis: All four front corners were examined at the available image resolution for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. The full-art silver and blue perimeter shows no confirmed corner handling defect.
Edges
10/10The upper silver edge beneath the holder reflection appears continuous from corner to corner, without confirmed chipping or roughness.
Along the lower full-art edge, the blue and silver perimeter remains visually unbroken with no physical whitening confirmed.
The left edge beside the Empoleon artwork shows a straight perimeter; bright areas are consistent with reflected holofoil rather than confirmed edge wear.
The right silver edge near the HP and retreat sections appears clean and straight, with no confirmed chip or fuzzing.
Analysis: All four front edges were scanned for whitening, chipping, roughness, and fuzzing. No physical edge defect is confirmed; bright bands are consistent with reflective foil and holder glare.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The front surface was scanned across the artwork, text field, holo background, and lower rule area for scratches, dents, scuffs, and pattern breaks. No physical surface defect is confirmed; glare prevents the highest confidence assessment.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)




Corners
10/10The physical top-left back corner, corresponding to the right side of the back photograph, appears sharp against the blue border with no visible whitening.
The top-right physical back corner maintains a clean rounded factory profile and shows no confirmed fiber exposure.
The lower-left physical back corner beside the blue perimeter remains intact and flat, with no visible bend or material loss.
The bottom-right physical back corner has a defined apex within the blue border, with no confirmed rounding or white cardstock showing.
Analysis: The four physical back corners were checked using the card-relative mirror orientation. No confirmed whitening, rounding, lift, or bend is visible, although holder glare limits fine-detail certainty.
Edges
10/10The physical top back edge shows a continuous blue border with no confirmed white flecks or rough factory-cut fibers.
The lower blue back edge remains visually smooth across its length, with no confirmed coating loss.
The physical left back edge, visible on the right side of the back photograph, appears straight and intact against the blue border.
The physical right back edge, visible on the left side of the back photograph, shows no confirmed whitening, nicking, or fuzzing.
Analysis: The back perimeter was inspected under the card-relative mirror rule. No confirmed whitening, chipping, or roughness is visible, with the main limitation being reflective holder glare.
