Front
Centering Measurements
Excellent front centering: left/right borders are approximately 54/46 and top/bottom approximately 53/47. The small difference is visible only on close comparison and remains within the 55/45 threshold.
Back
Centering Measurements
Excellent back centering: the red frame measures approximately 53/47 left/right and 52/48 top/bottom. No meaningful centering penalty is indicated.

Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
5/10The yellow top-left corner has a rounded apex with visible light cardstock exposure along the tip.
The yellow top-right corner remains identifiable but shows softened geometry and a small pale wear area.
The lower-left yellow corner shows rounding and mild edge wear while retaining the original card outline.
The lower-right corner has the most pronounced wear, including an irregular pale chip and rounded profile.
Analysis: Front corners show distributed rounding and exposed light material, with the lower-right corner most affected. The overall front corner condition falls below near-mint due to multiple visible worn points. This face shows 5/10 to match the corners score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Edges
6/10The yellow top edge has scattered pale wear near the corners but remains mostly continuous through the center.
The yellow bottom edge shows visible whitening and irregular wear concentrated toward the right side.
The left yellow edge is generally intact but contains small pale flecks near the upper and lower corner areas.
The right yellow edge has more pronounced whitening and roughness adjacent to the lower-right corner.
Analysis: Front edges show distributed whitening, with the lower and right edges carrying the clearest wear. The edge score is limited by the visibly rough, whitened area near the lower-right corner. This face shows 6/10 to match the edges score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Surface
6/10No analysis available
Location: front artwork area around the central Electabuzz image
Central blue artwork → several linear and rubbed-looking interruptions in the glossy surface → distributed short-to-medium marks → pale highlights contrast with the deep blue and red artwork.
Location: front lower artwork and border areas
Lower front artwork → scattered pale specks and small surface irregularities → multiple tiny marks → light spots contrast with the blue holographic background.
Analysis: The front holographic surface shows multiple visible scratches, scuffs, and pale specks rather than a uniform gloss. Reflection bands within the holographic artwork are treated as design or lighting; the confirmed surface wear remains sufficient to limit the score.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
5/10The blue back's top-left corner is rounded slightly, with a pale edge fleck visible against the blue field.
The top-right back corner retains the rectangular outline but has visible rounding and edge whitening.
The bottom-left back corner is softened with a small bright wear point along the red-frame perimeter.
The bottom-right back corner shows the strongest rounding, with a visible pale chip along the outer edge.
Analysis: Back corners display multiple rounded and whitened points, especially at the bottom-right corner. The distributed wear places the back corner condition in the lower visible-wear range. This face shows 5/10 to match the corners score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Edges
6/10The blue back's top edge is mostly continuous, with isolated pale flecks at the corner transitions.
The bottom back edge shows visible pale wear along the blue field, especially near the left and right corners.
The left back edge remains straight but has several small bright wear points against the blue background.
The right back edge has a mostly clean line with localized pale exposure near the lower corner.
Location: back bottom edge
A visible rough, whitish run follows the exposed bottom cut edge.

Whitish cardstock exposure and roughness are visible along the dark bottom edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back bottom edge
A thin irregular whitish area is visible along portions of the bottom cut edge near the rounded corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Back edges show multiple areas of whitening, most visible along the bottom and left sides. The card retains a straight outline, but the distributed edge wear limits the back edge score. This face shows 6/10 to match the edges score the three independent evaluations agreed on.
Surface
6/10No analysis available
Location: back blue field around the Poké Ball and lower half
Blue back field → visible linear abrasion and rubbed areas across the printed pattern → several short-to-medium interruptions → pale highlights contrast with the dark blue background.
Location: back lower-left and lower-right blue field
Lower back field → scattered small pale surface specks → multiple tiny marks → light spots contrast with the blue printed design.
Analysis: The back surface has multiple visible abrasions and pale specks across the blue printed field. The damage is more than a single close-inspection flaw and limits the back surface to the visible-wear range.
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.
