Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
7/10The upper-left corner meets the purple and black artwork cleanly; the apex remains sharp with no visible fiber exposure or rounding.
At the upper-right corner beside the pink and lavender frame, the cut point is crisp and no whitening, compression, or lift is visible.
The lower-left corner against the pink and blue artwork retains a defined point, with no visible edge separation or white cardstock exposure.
The lower-right corner adjoining the lavender text panel appears square and intact, without rounding, bends, or coating loss.
Location: front top-left corner
Multiple white flecks and a light roughened run are visible along the dark top-left cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front bottom-left corner
White cardstock exposure and several flecks are visible along the rounded bottom-left corner and adjacent bottom edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front bottom-right corner
A conspicuous pale, irregular exposed area is visible along the dark lower edge near the bottom-right corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: All four front corners were examined at the available image resolution for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. Each maintains sharp geometry against the colorful full-art frame with no confirmed handling defect. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (top-left corner); moderate whitening (bottom-left corner); moderate whitening (bottom-right corner) — this score reflects those findings.
Edges
7/10The top edge running above the Mega Chandelure name shows a straight, intact cut with the purple and silver frame reaching the perimeter.
Along the bottom edge below the rule text, the pink-lavender finish remains continuous and no white flecks or rough fibers are visible.
The left edge beside the silver circular evolution symbol and blue artwork appears straight, with no isolated whitening or chipping detected.
The right edge bordering the lavender artwork and retreat area is cleanly defined, without a visible nick, fuzzed section, or coating loss.
Location: front top edge
The dark top cut edge shows a continuous rough gray-white worn line with multiple exposed flecks.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front bottom edge
Multiple white flecks and irregular exposed cardstock are visible along the dark bottom cut edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: front left edge
The dark left edge has a visible light roughened line and scattered white cardstock flecks along much of its length.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: All four front edges were scanned from corner to corner for whitening, chipping, roughness, and fuzzing. The printed frame reaches each perimeter cleanly with no confirmed edge defect. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (top edge); moderate whitening (bottom edge); moderate whitening (left edge) — this score reflects those findings.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The front surface was scanned across the artwork, ability panel, attack text, and lower rule area for scratches, dents, print defects, and disrupted foil. The observed highlights are broad reflections rather than physical surface damage.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
8/10The physical top-left back corner, against the blue border and white swirl, remains cleanly pointed with no visible whitening or deformation.
The top-right back corner beside the blue perimeter shows a smooth cut and intact blue coating through the tip.
The bottom-left back corner at the blue border is well-defined, with no apparent fiber exposure, rounding, or corner lift.
The bottom-right back corner meets the blue edge cleanly and shows no visible chipping, bend, or softened apex.
Analysis: The four back corners were individually checked against the blue border for whitening, rounding, and structural separation. All appear sharp and flat in the submitted image. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 8/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
8/10The back top edge follows the blue border above the Pokémon logo and appears straight, smooth, and free of white breaks.
The lower back edge across the blue border remains even and intact, with no visible exposed cardstock or rough cut.
The physical left back edge, mirrored in the photograph, shows a continuous blue perimeter and no confirmed whitening along its length.
The physical right back edge beside the blue-and-white swirl is clean and linear, without chipping, fuzzing, or edge indentation.
Analysis: The back perimeter was reviewed across all four edges for breaks in the blue coating, roughness, and material loss. No physical edge wear is confirmed. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 8/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: back lower-left area of the surface
A few small white flecks are visible along the lower blue border near the bottom edge.
View magnified evidence photoLocation: back lower-right area of the surface
Multiple light fiber-exposure flecks and a roughened patch are visible along the lower blue border, including near the rounded lower-right corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back surface was reviewed region by region for linear marks, white dots, scuffing, and compression. No physical surface defect is visible at the provided resolution.
