Card Description
“The visible back contains the Pokémon Trading Card Game design and copyright text.”
— From card back
Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: front left-right is approximately 55/45 and top-bottom approximately 52/48, with the left yellow border subtly wider. The measured proportions remain within the 55/45 threshold.
Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: the back red frame measures approximately 55/45 left-right and 52/48 top-bottom. The horizontal shift mirrors the front presentation and incurs no centering penalty.

Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
4/10The top-left yellow corner has a large irregular gray-brown damaged area with disrupted geometry and visible material disturbance.
The upper-right yellow corner remains rounded but retains its overall card outline without a clearly visible fold.
The lower-left yellow corner is rounded and shows visible edge wear along the adjoining border.
The lower-right yellow corner is rounded with a visibly softened point but no separate tear identified.
Analysis: Front corners show substantial age and handling wear, including rounded lower corners and severe structural disturbance at the top-left corner. The top-left bent or compressed area triggers the structural maximum of 4.
Edges
4/10The top yellow edge is uneven near the left side and shows a disturbed section adjacent to the damaged upper-left corner.
The bottom yellow edge remains intact across most of its length but appears worn and less crisp near both lower corners.
The left yellow edge has visible wear concentrated around the upper-left damaged section and a less uniform cut line.
The right yellow edge is comparatively straight but shows mild softening and scattered light edge exposure.
Analysis: Front edges show significant wear, especially around the upper-left damaged area, with additional whitening and softened perimeter sections. The structural corner damage limits the edge assessment to a maximum of 4.
Surface
4/10No analysis available
Location: upper-left name panel
Upper-left front surface → broad gray-brown irregular discoloration and disturbed coating → extended patch around the damaged corner → gray-brown material contrasts with the yellow printed panel.
Location: lower front text area
Lower front surface around the attack and retreat text → faint linear surface wear and scattered abrasions → short-to-medium marks across the cream text field → gray lines contrast with the pale yellow background.
Analysis: The front surface has visible discoloration, abrasions, and a major disturbed area at the upper-left. The structural damage cap controls the score at 4.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
4/10The physical top-left back corner is rounded with a softened blue perimeter and no clean sharp apex.
The top-right back corner is visibly rounded and slightly worn along the blue perimeter.
The bottom-left back corner has a softened point and minor perimeter whitening.
The bottom-right back corner is rounded, with the red frame remaining intact nearby.
Analysis: All four back corners display visible rounding and perimeter wear, with no additional full-length fold conclusively resolved in the photograph. The back corner score is also limited by the structural damage observed on the card overall.
Edges
4/10The top blue back edge is mostly straight but has visible wear near the upper-left and upper-right rounded corners.
The lower blue back edge remains present but shows softened corners and minor light exposure at its ends.
The physical left back edge is visible on the right side of the back photograph and shows wear around the corresponding upper-left physical corner.
The physical right back edge is visible on the left side of the back photograph and remains generally straight with localized corner wear.
Analysis: Back edges show localized whitening and softened perimeter wear at the rounded corners. The structural damage identified on the front remains the controlling maximum for the card.
Surface
4/10No analysis available
Location: lower-center back surface
Lower-center back surface around the copyright text → uneven aged coloration and dull patches → extended but diffuse area → lighter blue and gray sheen contrasts with the surrounding navy design.
Analysis: The back surface displays diffuse aging and localized wear beneath photographic glare. No separate suspicious line crossing both faces is conclusively confirmed, but the overall structural condition limits the score to 4.
