Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: front left/right is approximately 52/48 and top/bottom approximately 51/49, both within the 55/45 threshold. The yellow frame remains proportionate around the artwork.
Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: the card-relative back borders measure approximately 52/48 left/right and 51/49 top/bottom. The blue perimeter is evenly distributed without a meaningful manufacturing shift.

Corners
8/10The top-left corner meets the pale yellow frame with a defined point and no visible rounding or fiber exposure.
At the upper-right near the 80 HP panel, the yellow corner remains crisp with no visible lift, whitening, or compression.
The lower-left corner beside the weakness area retains sharp geometry and an intact cream-yellow border.
The bottom-right corner near the card number appears pointed and flat, with no confirmed white fiber or edge deformation.
Analysis: All four front corners were examined at the available image resolution for fiber exposure, rounding, lift, and compression. The yellow frame reaches each defined apex without a confirmed handling defect. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 8/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
8/10The top edge follows the pale yellow header from Cacturne to the HP panel with a straight, clean cut and no confirmed whitening.
Along the lower yellow edge beneath the attack text, the border remains continuous and the cut line appears smooth.
The left edge beside the artwork and weakness panel shows an even yellow perimeter without visible chips or exposed cardstock.
The right edge adjacent to the HP and retreat-cost areas is straight, with the yellow coating appearing continuous from corner to corner.
Analysis: All four front edges were scanned for whitening, chipping, roughness, fuzzing, and irregular cuts. No confirmed edge defect is visible; the yellow perimeter remains continuous. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 8/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The front surface was reviewed across the artwork, text box, header, and lower attack area for scratches, print defects, dents, and holo disruption. Bright linear features are consistent with holographic reflection or image glare rather than confirmed card damage.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
7/10The card-relative top-left back corner, visible on the right side of the back photograph, has a clean blue apex without apparent whitening.
The card-relative top-right back corner near the upper blue border remains angular and flat with no visible chipping.
The card-relative bottom-left back corner shows a continuous blue border and a defined tip without rounding.
The card-relative bottom-right back corner is sharply formed against the blue perimeter, with no visible fiber exposure or lift.
Location: back top-left corner
Visible white cardstock exposure runs along the top and left cut edges of the dark blue border near the corner.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back top-right corner
A continuous light/white worn strip is visible along the top cut edge and around the rounded corner of the blue border.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back bottom-left corner
A small lightened area is visible along the blue cut edge near the bottom-left corner.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back bottom-right corner
A small pale exposed spot is visible at the rounded bottom-right corner cut.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The four back corners were individually checked against the blue border for whitening, softening, bending, and lift. No confirmed corner handling defects are visible in the submitted back image. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (top-left corner); moderate whitening (top-right corner); faint whitening visible only under magnification (bottom-left corner) +1 more — this score reflects those findings.
Edges
7/10The card-relative top back edge has a straight blue cut with no isolated white flecks or rough fiber line detected.
The lower blue back edge remains even across its length, with no visible coating loss or material separation.
The card-relative left back edge, appearing on the right side of the photograph, retains a clean blue boundary without confirmed whitening.
The card-relative right back edge beside the blue field is smooth and uninterrupted from the upper to lower corner.
Location: back top edge
Multiple pale flecks and a slightly roughened run are visible along the dark-blue top edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back bottom edge
Several white flecks are visible along the dark-blue bottom edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back left edge
Multiple white flecks and a roughened exposed line are visible along the dark-blue left edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back perimeter was checked edge by edge for whitening, chipping, roughness, and fuzzing. The blue border appears intact throughout, with no confirmed handling wear. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (top edge); moderate whitening (bottom edge); moderate whitening (left edge) — this score reflects those findings.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: back lower-left area of the surface
White cardstock exposure is visible along the rounded lower-left corner and a short adjacent bottom-edge run.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back lower-right area of the surface
White cardstock exposure is visible at the rounded lower-right corner along the blue border.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The entire blue back, including the logo, central Poké Ball, and perimeter field, was checked for localized surface defects. Reflections remain broad and lighting-related, with no confirmed physical surface damage.
