Special Features
Front
Centering Measurements
Excellent front centering, with approximate left/right proportions of 54/46 and top/bottom proportions of 53/47. The yellow borders remain close to balanced on both axes.
Back
Centering Measurements
Excellent back centering, with approximate left/right proportions of 52/48 and top/bottom proportions of 55/45. The blue outer frame remains substantially balanced.
Front Side
Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
8/10The yellow top-left corner retains a defined point, with no clearly confirmed fiber exposure or lift visible through the available image.
At the yellow top-right corner, the outline remains intact and no definite rounding or structural separation is visible.
The lower-left yellow corner appears mildly softened in the photograph, but no definite crease, lift, or material loss can be confirmed.
The bottom-right yellow corner shows a continuous card outline with no confirmed white fiber exposure or bend.
Analysis: Front corners retain their overall geometry without a confirmed crease, bend, lift, or clearly resolved whitening. Glare and image sharpness reduce certainty, so the score reflects visible evidence rather than unseen defects. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 8/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
10/10The upper yellow edge is continuous, with reflective brightness across the center but no confirmed chip or exposed cardstock.
The lower yellow edge remains straight and visually unbroken from corner to corner, without a resolved whitening run.
The left yellow edge follows a clean rectangular outline; glare and the green border provide no confirmed evidence of edge chipping.
The right perimeter is continuous beside the yellow frame, with no clearly visible roughness, fuzzing, or cardstock exposure.
Analysis: Front edges appear clean and factory-cut, with no confirmed whitening, chipping, or roughness. Reflective glare across the upper area prevents high-confidence microscopic assessment.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: No confirmed handling defect is visible on the front surface at the submitted resolution. The front holographic-like sheen is reflective glare rather than a confirmed scratch or print-line defect.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
7/10The physical top-left corner, corresponding to the mirrored back image position, remains rounded only by the factory card geometry with no confirmed damage.
The blue top-right corner has an intact outline and no clearly visible fiber exposure or corner lift.
The lower-left physical corner shows a continuous blue frame and no confirmed bend, crease, or coating loss.
The blue bottom-right corner remains structurally intact, with no definite rounding beyond the printed card profile.
Location: back top-right corner
Multiple small white flecks are visible along the dark-blue top edge and around the corner.

A visibly pale, roughened run appears along the dark-blue bottom edge near the corner.

Multiple white flecks and a roughened light line are visible along the dark-blue bottom edge and corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Back corners appear structurally intact and free of clearly resolved whitening or rounding. The available view supports a clean score, although glare limits fine surface-level certainty. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (top-right corner); moderate whitening (bottom-left corner); moderate whitening (bottom-right corner) — this score reflects those findings.
Edges
9/10The blue top edge is straight and continuous, with no definite white flecks or edge separation visible.
The blue bottom edge maintains a smooth uninterrupted boundary against the background.
The physical left edge, mirrored in the back photograph, remains cleanly outlined in blue without confirmed material loss.
The physical right edge shows a consistent blue perimeter and no clearly resolved rough cut or whitening.
Location: back left edge
Several small white fiber-like flecks appear along the dark blue left cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back right edge
Small white cardstock fleck is visible on the outer right blue edge near the lower portion of the region.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Back edges show a continuous blue frame with no confirmed chipping, whitening, fuzzing, or delamination. The image supports a clean visible assessment, with uncertainty retained because of reflection and focus limitations. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: faint whitening visible only under magnification (left edge); faint whitening visible only under magnification (right edge) — this score reflects those findings.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The back surface has no confirmed physical defect visible in the submitted image. Broad bright areas are consistent with lighting reflection and are not treated as surface damage.
Confidence Level: Moderate
Grade Uncertainty: ±2
Grade C — Fair
Moderate issues with glare, blur, or lighting during capture. Fine-detail assessment carries some uncertainty.
Raw Card — No Protective Case
Card photographed without protective covering. All features and defects fully visible for optimal assessment accuracy.
Grading confidence based on image clarity, protective case impact, defect detection certainty, and grade uncertainty.
