Corners
10/10The upper-left yellow border meets a defined, pointed corner with no confirmed fiber exposure or rounding visible at the available image resolution.
At the upper-right corner beside the HP area, the yellow coating reaches the apex cleanly and no lift, bend, or whitening is confirmed.
The lower-left corner adjoining the illustrator and copyright area retains crisp geometry without a visible white fiber or compressed tip.
The bottom-right yellow corner below the retreat area appears sharp and flat, with no confirmed rounding or material loss.
Analysis: All four front corners were examined at the available image resolution for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. The yellow border reaches each apex cleanly, and no confirmed corner handling defect is visible.
Edges
10/10The upper yellow edge above the Lugia name appears straight and continuous, with no confirmed whitening, chipping, or roughness.
Along the lower yellow edge beneath the copyright line, the factory-cut outline remains clean and no physical white flecks are confirmed.
The left yellow edge beside the artwork and attack text shows a smooth uninterrupted perimeter without visible coating loss.
The right yellow edge next to the HP and retreat areas is straight with no confirmed chip, fuzzing, or exposed cardstock.
Analysis: All front edge runs were scanned from corner to corner for whitening, chipping, roughness, and fuzzing. The yellow perimeter appears continuous and clean in the submitted photograph.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The Lugia artwork and lower text panel were scanned for scratches, scuffs, print lines, dents, white dots, and holo disruption. No confirmed physical surface defect is visible at the available image resolution.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
10/10The physical top-left back corner, corresponding to the right side of the back photograph, shows a clean blue frame and a defined apex without visible whitening.
The physical top-right back corner at the left side of the photograph maintains a squared blue-bordered tip with no confirmed softening or lift.
The physical bottom-left back corner presents a continuous blue frame and an intact point; no white cardstock exposure is visible.
The physical bottom-right back corner remains angular against the blue border, with no observed bend, rounding, or corner chip.
Analysis: The four physical back corners were checked individually, accounting for the mirrored back orientation. Each blue-framed apex appears intact and flat, with no confirmed corner wear.
Edges
10/10The physical top back edge, visible at the upper edge of the blue frame, remains straight with no confirmed material loss.
The physical bottom back edge carries an even blue border and no confirmed whitening or edge deformation is visible.
The physical left back edge, appearing on the right side of the back image, shows an uninterrupted blue cut line without visible rough fibers.
The physical right back edge, appearing on the left side of the back image, remains cleanly defined against the background with no confirmed chipping.
Analysis: The blue back perimeter was examined across all four physical edges. Reflected light is present near portions of the surface, but no confirmed edge whitening, chipping, or roughness is visible.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Location: back lower-left area of the surface
Multiple small white flecks are visible along the dark blue lower-left corner and adjacent left edge.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back surface was reviewed across the logo, Poké Ball center, surrounding blue artwork, and border areas. Reflections limit certainty in some regions but do not provide confirmed evidence of physical surface damage.
