Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
8/10Yellow border reaches a defined apex with slight softening visible on close inspection; no lift or crease is visible.
The yellow corner point remains mostly intact, with a small loss of crispness along the outer tip and no structural lift.
Lower-left yellow corner retains its general shape but shows minor edge softening without visible fiber exposure or bending.
The lower-right yellow apex is visibly softened compared with the upper corners, though it remains intact and flat.
Analysis: Front corners show consistent minor softening across all four yellow-border tips, with the bottom-right corner most affected. No corner lift, fold, or crease is visible.
Edges
7/10The upper yellow edge is straight and retains continuous color, with no confirmed chipping or fiber exposure.
The lower yellow edge remains clean through the text area, with only holder glare near the perimeter and no confirmed cardstock exposure.
The left yellow edge is straight and visually intact from corner to corner, without a confirmed white fleck or rough cut.
A short white interruption is visible along the lower-right yellow edge, contrasting with the surrounding gold border.
Analysis: Front edges are largely clean, but the lower portion of the right yellow edge has visible whitening. The remaining edges retain straight factory-cut profiles. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 7/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: Front surface inspection across the artwork, text field, and lower information panel found no confirmed physical surface defects. Reflective bands and bright spots are attributed to the protective holder rather than card damage.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
7/10Blue back border forms a clean corner with mild tip softening and no visible separation from the card plane.
The blue upper-right physical corner remains intact, with a subtly less pointed apex than a factory-sharp corner.
A small white exposure is visible at the blue lower-left physical corner, contrasting clearly with the surrounding blue border.
The blue lower-right physical corner is intact with light softening at the tip and no bend or corner lift.
Analysis: Back corners are generally intact but include minor softening and a small white fleck at the bottom-left physical corner. No structural corner damage is visible. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 7/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
8/10The upper blue edge is even and continuous, with no confirmed material loss across the visible length.
The lower blue edge remains straight with a small bright area near the left corner, consistent with the adjacent corner exposure.
The physical left blue edge appears clean and continuous, corresponding to the right side of the back photograph.
The physical right blue edge is straight with no confirmed isolated whitening or chipping along its central run.
Analysis: Back edges are predominantly clean, with one small white fleck at the bottom edge beside the bottom-left physical corner. No continuous whitening or edge deformation is visible. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 8/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: Back surface inspection found no confirmed physical scratches, scuffs, dents, stains, or print voids. Holder glare limits absolute certainty but does not provide evidence of a surface defect.
