Front

Back
Centering Measurements
Excellent. The back shows approximately 53/47 left/right centering and 51/49 top/bottom centering, with the wider right border appropriately mirroring the front. No centering penalty applies.
Front Side
Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
9/10The upper-left yellow border corner retains a defined apex with no confirmed fiber exposure, rounding, or lift visible at the available image resolution.
At the upper-right yellow corner beside the HP area, the point remains cleanly formed and flat without visible whitening or compression.
The lower-left corner where the yellow frame meets the black background remains pointed, with no distinct white fiber or bent profile confirmed.
The lower-right yellow corner near the card-number line shows intact geometry and no visible tip wear or corner lift.
Analysis: All four front corners were examined for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift; no confirmed handling defect is visible. The yellow border reaches each sharp, flat apex. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
10/10The upper yellow edge around the title panel appears straight and continuous, with no confirmed whitening, chipping, or fuzzy cut.
Along the lower yellow perimeter beneath the rules text, the edge remains visually intact without an isolated white fleck or rough segment.
The left yellow edge from the artwork frame toward the lower text area appears smooth and unbroken, with no visible coating loss.
The right yellow edge beside the artwork and HP panel maintains a clean factory line; reflections do not show confirmed edge damage.
Analysis: The four front edges were scanned from corner to corner for whitening, chips, roughness, and fuzzing. No confirmed edge defect is visible against the yellow border.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The front surface shows consistent print clarity across the blue sky artwork, white text fields, and yellow frame. No physical surface defect is confirmed at the available image resolution.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
8/10The physical upper-left back corner, adjacent to the blue border and logo area, appears sharply cut with no visible white exposure or deformation.
The upper-right back corner along the blue frame maintains a clean point, with the bright reflection treated as lighting rather than physical whitening.
The lower-left back corner beside the inverted logo remains flat and angular, without a confirmed crease, nick, or fiber strand.
The lower-right back corner shows an intact blue edge-to-apex transition and no observable rounding or cardstock loss.
Location: back top-left corner
Visible white fiber exposure runs along the dark-blue outer edge at the top-left corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Each back corner was checked against the blue border for whitening, rounding, structural lift, and compression. No physical corner defect is confirmed in the submitted image. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (top-left corner) — this score reflects those findings.
Edges
10/10The physical top back edge along the blue border is straight and continuous, with no distinct white interruption.
The physical bottom back edge beneath the inverted logo retains a clean blue perimeter without visible chipping or fraying.
The physical left back edge, appearing on the right side of the photograph due to the mirrored back view, remains smooth and fully colored blue.
The physical right back edge beside the blue logo field appears even and intact, with no confirmed whitening along its length.
Analysis: All four physical back edges were reviewed with the back-image mirror orientation accounted for. The blue perimeter remains continuous, straight, and free of confirmed whitening or chipping.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The back surface retains uniform blue-and-white artwork and uninterrupted logo and Poké Ball details. Reflected highlights are diffuse and do not provide evidence of structural or surface damage.
