Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: front left/right and top/bottom borders measure approximately 52/48, within the 55/45 threshold. The yellow border remains consistently spaced from the card edges.
Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: the back measures approximately 52/48 left/right and 50/50 top/bottom. The blue perimeter border remains evenly positioned despite the horizontal mirror relationship.

Corners
9/10The yellow border reaches a defined apex with no visible rounding, fiber exposure, or lift at the available image resolution.
At the upper-right yellow corner, the point remains clean and angular with no apparent compression or white cardstock exposure.
The lower-left corner beside the pink attack-text area retains crisp geometry and shows no confirmed whitening or bend.
The opposite lower corner maintains a sharp yellow frame transition without visible softening, lift, or material loss.
Analysis: All four front corners were checked for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift through the holder. The yellow corner tips appear sharp and intact, with no confirmed handling defect visible. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
10/10The yellow top edge appears straight and continuous, with no confirmed white flecks, chipping, or fuzzing visible through the holder.
Along the bottom yellow edge beneath the attack text, the cut line appears smooth with no visible coating loss or roughness.
The left perimeter beside the artwork shows an unbroken yellow edge and no confirmed whitening or nicking.
The right edge adjoining the pink text field remains visually clean and straight, without visible fibers or chips.
Analysis: The front perimeter was scanned from corner to corner for whitening, chipping, roughness, and fuzzing. No physical edge defect is confirmed, although holder glare limits microscopic certainty.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The visible front surface is uniform across the artwork and text regions, with no card scratch or indentation confirmed. Holder reflections and dust are excluded from the card assessment.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
9/10The upper-left blue corner forms a clean rounded factory profile with no visible white fiber or structural separation.
The upper-right blue frame remains uniform to the corner tip, with no apparent chipping or flattening.
The lower-left back corner has a continuous blue perimeter and no confirmed whitening or corner lift.
The lower-right corner appears intact and evenly rounded by design, without visible impact wear or exposed cardstock.
Analysis: The four back corners were individually reviewed against the blue border for whitening, rounding, and structural damage. No confirmed corner defect is visible in the submitted photograph. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
10/10The blue top edge is continuous and even, with no observable white exposure or material loss.
The lower blue edge remains cleanly defined against the holder background and shows no confirmed roughness.
The left physical edge of the card retains a solid blue perimeter with no visible chipping or isolated whitening.
The right blue edge appears straight and intact, with no confirmed fiber exposure along its visible length.
Location: back right edge
Multiple tiny white flecks are visible along the dark-blue right border.

Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: back horizontal center band of the surface
A small pale fleck/short mark is visible on the dark blue left border near the lower-left edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back surface shows consistent blue-and-white printing with no physical surface defect confirmed in the available image. Reflections and debris on the top loader are not scored as card 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.
