Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
7/10The yellow border at the upper-left apex shows slight rounding and a small pale edge exposure.
The upper-right yellow corner remains defined but appears mildly softened at the apex.
The lower-left corner has visible rounding along the yellow frame and a softened tip.
The lower-right corner is rounded but retains the card's full material and remains intact.
Analysis: Front corners show rounded and softened profiles at all four tips, most evident at the upper-left, lower-left, and lower-right corners. No lift, fold, or missing corner material is visibly confirmed. This face shows 7/10 to match the corners score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Edges
7/10The top yellow edge is mostly continuous, with mild lightening near the upper-left transition.
The bottom yellow edge remains straight but shows scattered light wear toward both corners.
The left yellow edge is intact with mild softening near the upper and lower corner areas.
The right yellow edge is comparatively clean through the middle, with light wear concentrated at the corner ends.
Analysis: Front edges are intact but show localized whitening and softened cut texture, with the bottom edge carrying the most visible wear. No continuous chipping or delamination is visible. This face shows 7/10 to match the edges score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: No confirmed handling scratch, indentation, stain, or holo disruption is visible on the front surface. The broad highlight across the artwork is treated as glare, with uncertainty increased because it obscures portions of the finish.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
7/10The physical top-left back corner is rounded, with the blue field and red frame ending in a softened apex.
The top-right back corner shows moderate rounding while the red inset line remains continuous.
The bottom-left back corner has a rounded outline with slight lightening at the edge.
The bottom-right back corner is rounded and softened, without a visible tear or structural break.
Analysis: All four back corners display visible rounding consistent with handling wear, while the card remains intact and no lifted or folded corner is confirmed. The back corner condition sets the corner category at 7.
Edges
7/10The top blue back edge is straight with light edge exposure concentrated near the left physical corner.
The lower blue edge shows mild whitening near the corner transitions while the red inset line remains intact.
The physical left back edge is clean through its central length with softened ends.
The physical right back edge maintains a straight outline with small lightened areas adjacent to the rounded corners.
Analysis: Back edges show localized whitening and softened corner transitions, particularly along the bottom edge. The central edge runs remain intact without major chipping or delamination. This face shows 7/10 to match the edges score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Analysis: No confirmed surface damage is visible on the back; the broad reflective band follows the lighting and does not show a defined card-bound scratch. Fine detail is partly limited by glare.
