Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering with front ratios of approximately 51/49 left-right and 54/46 top-bottom. The silver outer frame remains evenly positioned relative to the cut edges, with the slight top-bottom difference within the 55/45 threshold.
Back
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering with back ratios of approximately 50/50 left-right and 52/48 top-bottom. The blue perimeter frame is evenly spaced from the card cut on both axes, and no back-centering penalty applies.

Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
9/10Examined against the silver upper frame; the apex remains pointed with no visible fiber exposure, rounding, compression, or lift.
The upper-right silver-framed corner retains crisp geometry, with no white cardstock showing beyond the printed edge.
At the lower-left corner beside the red-orange text panel, the cut line and point appear clean and flat without visible whitening.
The bottom-right corner bordering the red footer remains sharply defined; no rounding, ding, or fiber exposure is visible.
Analysis: All four front corners were examined at the available image resolution for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. The silver and red-orange frame colors remain intact to each apex, supporting a score of 9. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 9/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Edges
10/10The upper silver edge around the Moltres name panel appears straight and continuous, with no visible chipping, fuzzing, or white flecks.
Along the lower silver edge beneath the red footer, the factory cut appears smooth and unbroken from corner to corner.
The left edge beside the white and red card frame is cleanly cut, with no observable coating loss or rough fiber texture.
The right perimeter next to the pale orange and silver frame remains even and intact without visible whitening or edge damage.
Analysis: All four front edges were scanned across their full visible lengths for whitening, chips, roughness, fuzzing, and cut irregularity. No confirmed edge defect is visible; broad bright areas are consistent with lighting reflection rather than localized coating loss.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The front surface was reviewed across the artwork, text panel, and footer for scratches, print defects, dents, gloss loss, and holo-pattern disruption. The reflective finish remains visually continuous, supporting a score of 10 from the visible evidence.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
8/10The physical top-left corner, appearing on the right side of the mirrored back image, maintains a sharp blue-framed apex with no visible wear.
The physical top-right corner shows a clean blue perimeter and a pointed cut with no observable white fleck or softening.
The physical bottom-left corner remains flat and angular against the blue border, without a visible impact mark or material loss.
The physical bottom-right apex is well defined within the blue frame; close inspection reveals no rounding or exposed cardstock.
Location: back top-right corner
Two small white cardstock flecks are visible on the dark blue right border near the corner.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The four physical back corners were checked individually against the blue perimeter frame for whitening, rounding, dents, and lift. No confirmed handling defects are visible in the submitted back image. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: moderate whitening (top-right corner) — this score reflects those findings.
Edges
10/10The physical top edge, located at the lower side of the mirrored back photograph, forms a smooth blue line with no visible breaks or fiber exposure.
The physical bottom edge beneath the Pokémon logo is straight and consistently blue, with no detectable chipping or fuzzing.
The physical left edge, appearing on the right side of the back image, retains an even blue perimeter and clean factory cut.
The physical right edge along the left side of the mirrored back image is intact from apex to apex, without visible whitening or nicks.
Analysis: The back perimeter was examined edge by edge against the saturated blue frame. No isolated white flecks, continuous whitening, chipping, or roughness is confirmed at the available image resolution.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: back upper-right area of the surface
A couple of small white flecks are visible on the dark-blue right border.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back was scanned region by region for white dots, scratches, surface dulling, pressure marks, and discoloration. The blue frame and central Poké Ball design remain intact with no confirmed surface handling defect.
