Front
Centering Measurements
Excellent front centering, with approximately 52/48 left-right and 55/45 top-bottom borders. The yellow frame remains close to balanced around the artwork.
Back
Centering Measurements
Excellent back centering, with approximately 55/45 left-right and 52/48 top-bottom proportions. The blue back frame remains evenly positioned relative to the card cut.
Front Side
Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
9/10The yellow frame reaches a clean, defined apex with no confirmed white fiber or lift visible through the holder.
The upper-right yellow corner retains a pointed outline; holder glare is present, but no physical rounding is confirmed.
The lower-left corner remains aligned with the yellow border and shows no visible bend, compression, or coating loss.
The bottom-right yellow tip appears intact and flat, with no confirmed whitening at the available image resolution.
Analysis: All four front corners retain defined geometry with no confirmed fiber exposure, rounding, lift, or bend. Assessment is limited slightly by the rigid holder but no physical corner defect is visible. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
9/10The yellow top edge appears continuous from corner to corner, with a straight factory-cut profile and no confirmed chipping.
Along the lower yellow edge, the border color remains continuous and no isolated white fleck or fuzzing is visible.
The left front edge follows a clean yellow perimeter with no confirmed coating loss or rough fiber texture.
The right yellow edge remains straight and visually intact; bright areas are consistent with holder reflection rather than confirmed whitening.
Analysis: The front perimeter appears clean and factory cut, with no confirmed whitening, chipping, fuzzing, or edge dents. Reflections from the holder were distinguished from card-surface wear. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: The holo surface shows continuous reflective behavior across the Pinsir artwork, with no confirmed scratch, scuff, indentation, stain, or white dot. The holder and lighting reduce certainty, so the surface is scored from visible evidence with ±1 uncertainty. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
9/10The card-relative top-left blue corner appears crisp, with the blue coating extending to the tip and no visible material loss.
The top-right blue corner shows a clean outline and no confirmed softening or raised corner under the holder reflection.
The lower-left physical corner remains pointed against the blue border, without visible white fiber exposure or compression.
The lower-right blue corner is visually intact and lies flat, with no confirmed bend or corner whitening.
Location: back bottom-left corner
Multiple small white cardstock flecks are visible along the dark blue bottom-left corner and adjacent bottom edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The four back corners appear sharp, flat, and free of confirmed whitening or rounding. Holder reflections reduce certainty slightly but do not show structural corner damage. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
9/10The card-relative top blue edge is straight and continuous, with no confirmed white breaks in the blue coating.
The bottom blue edge shows an uninterrupted printed border and no visible roughness or material loss.
The physical left edge, appearing on the opposite side of the back photograph, remains cleanly cut with no confirmed whitening.
The physical right blue edge appears smooth and straight; surrounding bright streaks belong to the holder or background reflection.
Analysis: All four back edges appear intact with continuous blue coating and no confirmed chips, roughness, or white flecks. Holder reflections are visible outside and across portions of the card but do not establish edge damage. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: No physical back-surface scratch, scuff, stain, indentation, or coating loss is confirmed in the submitted image. The rigid holder and uneven illumination prevent the highest confidence level but do not support a visible surface deduction. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
