— From card back
Front
Centering Measurements
Good. Front centering measures approximately 56/44 left-right and 55/45 top-bottom, with the left yellow border visibly wider than the right. The left-right axis is limiting but remains within the near-excellent range.
Back
Centering Measurements
This card’s artwork runs to the edge with no even printed border, so there is no border ratio to measure. Centering is not counted against the grade on a design like this. Excellent. The back design is full-bleed and intentionally graphic, so equal border ratios do not apply. Internal alignment of the red frame, Poké Ball, and radial artwork shows no significant manufacturing shift.
Front Side
Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
10/10The upper-left corner retains a defined rounded factory profile against the yellow border, with no confirmed fiber exposure or lift visible at the available image resolution.
The upper-right apex is evenly formed where the yellow frame meets the blue outer field; no chipped coating, compression, or structural lift is visible.
The lower-left corner shows a clean rounded factory cut beside the yellow perimeter, with the border color continuing to the edge without confirmed whitening.
At the lower-right corner, the rounded profile remains intact and the yellow coating appears continuous; no bend, ding, or exposed cardstock is confirmed.
Analysis: All four front corners were examined for fiber exposure, rounding beyond the factory profile, compression, and lift. The yellow border remains continuous at each apex and no handling defect is confirmed.
Edges
10/10The top edge runs across the yellow frame and blue header; its cut line appears straight, with no isolated white flecks or fuzzing confirmed.
Along the bottom edge beneath the attack text, the yellow perimeter and blue lower panel meet a clean, continuous cut without visible chipping.
The left edge beside the blue artwork field remains even from the upper corner to the lower corner, with no confirmed coating loss or rough fibers.
The right edge bordering the yellow frame and blue panel shows a smooth uninterrupted outline; no white edge exposure or nick is visible.
Analysis: The four front edges were scanned end to end for whitening, chipping, fuzzing, roughness, and edge dents. The yellow and blue perimeter colors remain continuous along a clean-looking factory cut.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The front surface was scanned across the header, artwork panel, attack text, and lower text areas for scratches, print-layer breaks, dents, and discoloration. The visible orange artwork texture and blue mottling remain integrated with the printed design rather than appearing as surface damage.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
10/10The physical top-left corner, corresponding to the right side of the mirrored back photograph, maintains its rounded factory shape against the blue field with no visible white fiber.
The physical top-right corner appears smooth where the blue background and white radial graphic meet, with no corner tip loss or structural deformation detected.
The physical bottom-left corner is cleanly rounded along the blue outer field, and the red frame terminates without visible corner damage.
The physical bottom-right corner retains an intact rounded outline; the blue print reaches the edge without confirmed chipping or whitening.
Location: back surface near the top-right corner
Two short, thin light scratches are visible on the dark blue area below the top-right corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Each back corner was checked for exposed fibers, excess rounding, dings, and lift. The factory-rounded geometry and blue printed perimeter remain intact with no confirmed handling wear.
Edges
10/10The back top edge crosses the blue field and white radial design with a straight outline; no confirmed whitening or edge deformation is present.
The lower back edge below the copyright text is visibly intact, with the blue print reaching the cut line and no material loss detected.
The physical left edge, appearing on the right side of the mirrored back image, remains smooth beside the dark-blue field and red frame.
The physical right edge, appearing on the left side of the back photograph, shows a continuous blue perimeter with no visible white flecks or roughness.
Analysis: All four physical back edges were inspected using the card-relative mirror convention. The dark-blue perimeter and red inset frame show no confirmed whitening, chipping, fuzzing, or structural edge damage.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The blue background, white rays, Poké Ball, and copyright area were examined for linear damage and surface irregularities. The varying blue tones follow the manufactured back artwork and do not show a confirmed handling defect.
