Special Features
Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: front left/right approximately 52/48 and top/bottom approximately 53/47. The yellow border margins remain close to balanced on both axes.
Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: the blue back border is close to balanced left-to-right and shows only a subtle top-to-bottom difference. No meaningful back-centering penalty applies.

Corners
10/10Yellow border reaches a largely sharp apex with no clearly resolved fiber exposure or lift.
The rounded yellow top-right tip remains intact, with no confirmed whitening or structural separation.
At the lower-left yellow border, the corner geometry is defined and no definite rounding or exposed cardstock is visible.
The lower-right corner retains a clean outline against the yellow frame; no corner lift or white fiber is confirmed.
Analysis: All four front corners retain their intended geometry with no clearly visible fiber exposure, rounding, or lift. The yellow border remains continuous into each corner at the available image resolution.
Edges
9/10The upper yellow edge is generally straight, with a few small uneven dark marks near the right half that may be surface or lighting artifacts.
The lower yellow edge appears continuous and straight, with no clearly resolved chip or cardstock exposure along the visible run.
The left yellow edge shows a clean perimeter with minor visual texture from glare but no confirmed fiber whitening.
The right yellow edge remains straight and intact; isolated dark pixels near the perimeter are not sufficiently resolved as physical chipping.
Analysis: The front perimeter is largely intact and straight. The upper edge has slight visual irregularity near the right side, preventing a fully confident perfect edge assessment without treating the ambiguous marks as confirmed damage. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
6/10No analysis available
Location: front holographic artwork, left-center and across the Pichu image
Multiple pale linear surface marks cross the dark background and lower artwork, visibly interrupting the holo reflection and remaining distinct from the printed illustration.
Analysis: Multiple noticeable scratches are visible across the front holographic image, particularly through the left-center background and lower artwork. The marks disrupt the reflective surface at normal inspection distance and are the principal front-condition limitation.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
10/10Card-relative top-left corner, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, remains rounded by design with no confirmed whitening.
Card-relative top-right corner shows a smooth blue border transition without a definite nick, bend, or exposed core.
The card-relative bottom-left tip is obscured slightly by angle and glare but shows no confirmed corner damage.
Card-relative bottom-right corner maintains a continuous blue perimeter with no visible structural lift or material loss.
Analysis: The four back corners appear structurally intact and free of confirmed rounding beyond the printed corner geometry. Glare limits fine-detail certainty slightly, so the image confidence is B.
Edges
10/10The card-relative top blue edge is straight and continuous, with no confirmed white flecks or fraying.
The card-relative bottom blue edge presents a clean uninterrupted border despite the rotated photograph.
The physical left edge, appearing on the right side of the back image, remains smooth with no visible chipping or material loss.
The physical right edge, appearing on the left side of the back image, is straight and blue with no confirmed whitening.
Analysis: The back edges appear clean, straight, and free of confirmed whitening, chipping, or fuzzing. The blue perimeter remains visually continuous around the card.
Surface
7/10No analysis available
Analysis: The back surface appears substantially cleaner than the front, with the observed bright bands attributable to lighting reflection rather than confirmed surface damage. Uneven glare reduces certainty for very fine defects. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 7/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Confidence Level: High
Grade Uncertainty: ±1
Grade B — Good
Minor issues with lighting or focus. Reliable grading with minimal uncertainty in fine details.
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.
