Special Features
Front
Centering Measurements
This card’s frame is a decorative foil or pattern, not an even printed border, so there is no border ratio to measure. Centering is not counted against the grade on a design like this. Excellent internal alignment is visible across the full-art foil design, with no measurable uniform border available for ratio calculation. The artwork frame and lower text elements show no clear shift toward any edge.
Back
Centering Measurements
Excellent back centering measures approximately 52/48 left-to-right and 54/46 top-to-bottom, both within the 55/45 threshold. The yellow border remains evenly distributed around the blue Pokémon design.

Corners
9/10The upper-left corner retains a defined point against the black and silver foil frame, with no confirmed rounding or fiber exposure.
At the HP and Water-symbol area, the top-right apex appears crisp and flat with the black border reaching the tip.
The lower-left corner beside the blue text panel remains pointed; no visible lift, compression, or white fiber is confirmed.
The lower-right corner near the retreat-cost section shows intact geometry without confirmed whitening or bending.
Location: front bottom-left corner
A small exposed light fiber is visible along the lower black border near the bottom edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: All four front corners were examined at the available image resolution for fiber exposure, rounding, lift, and compression. The black and blue frame colors extend cleanly to each visible apex, with no confirmed handling defect. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
9/10The upper black foil edge is continuous from corner to corner, with reflective highlights attributed to the holder rather than confirmed coating loss.
Along the lower blue-and-black frame, the cut line appears straight with no resolved white chipping or fuzzing.
The left edge bordering the black and silver arc remains visually intact; bright regions follow the holder reflection and do not show confirmed card whitening.
The right edge beside the blue foil arc appears clean and straight, with no definite isolated white fleck distinguishable from glare.
Location: front bottom edge
A small light fiber protrudes from the lower black cut edge near the left portion of the strip.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: All four front edges were scanned for whitening, chipping, roughness, and fuzzing. The visible bright bands are broad holder or foil reflections rather than confirmed physical edge damage. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: front lower-left area of the surface
A small exposed light fleck is visible along the bottom cut edge near the lower-left/center area.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The holographic pattern remains visually continuous across the artwork, including the upper purple field and lower blue area. No defined scratch, scuff, indentation, stain, or localized holo disruption is confirmed at the available image resolution.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
9/10The physical top-left corner, viewed using card-relative naming, maintains a sharp yellow-border apex with no visible fiber exposure.
The top-right corner beside the green and lightning energy symbols remains angular and flat, with no confirmed softening.
The lower-left corner adjacent to the blue border appears cleanly cut and pointed, without a visible white impact mark.
The lower-right yellow-border apex appears slightly less clean through the holder, but no definite rounding or physical fiber exposure is resolved.
Location: back bottom-right corner
Tiny exposed light-colored fiber is visible along the bottom cut edge just left of the rounded corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The four back corners were checked for whitening, rounding, lift, and compression against the yellow border. No confirmed corner defect is visible, although the holder limits fine-detail certainty at the lower-right apex. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
9/10The upper yellow border presents a smooth continuous edge, with no confirmed whitening or rough cut visible through the holder.
The lower yellow edge remains generally clean, though the holder rim slightly overlaps the outer boundary.
The card-relative left edge, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, shows an even yellow perimeter without a resolved chip.
The card-relative right edge beside the blue back field appears straight; no confirmed white cardstock exposure is visible.
Analysis: The back perimeter shows a clean yellow factory-cut appearance across the visible runs. Holder overlap reduces certainty slightly, but no physical whitening, chipping, or fuzzing is confirmed. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The back was reviewed across the logo, Poké Ball, energy-symbol, and lower blue regions for scratches, dots, scuffs, and dents. The visible tonal variation is diffuse lighting and holder reflection, not a confirmed surface defect.
