Centering Measurements
Excellent back centering with an estimated 53/47 horizontal ratio and approximately 50/50 vertical ratio. The blue perimeter frame is evenly distributed, with the horizontal shift mirroring the front as expected after flipping the card.

Corners
10/10The yellow-bordered upper-left physical corner retains a pointed profile with no confirmed white fiber or rounding visible at the available image resolution.
At the upper-right corner beside the pink holofoil field, the apex remains defined and the yellow coating reaches the tip without visible lifting.
The lower-left corner adjoining the yellow frame appears flat and angular, with no observable compression or cardstock exposure.
The lower-right corner near the card-number area shows a clean point and intact yellow border, without visible whitening or softening.
Analysis: All four front corners were examined for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift; none is confirmed. The yellow border remains continuous to each visible apex and the card outline appears flat.
Edges
10/10The top physical edge runs through the yellow frame and appears straight with a continuous coated line and no confirmed chipping.
Along the bottom edge beneath the Mysterious Fossil title area, the yellow coating remains visually continuous and the cut line appears smooth.
The left edge beside the pink-and-blue holofoil area is straight and clean in the visible photo, without confirmed whitening or fuzzing.
The right edge bordering the rainbow holofoil field shows no distinct white flecks, chips, or irregular fiber texture at the available resolution.
Analysis: The full front perimeter was scanned for whitening, chipping, roughness, and fuzzing. No physical edge defect is confirmed; apparent bright bands are consistent with reflective lighting.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The pink, green, and blue holographic areas were inspected across the artwork, text panel, and border zones for scratches, print lines, clouding, and pattern disruption. No handling defect is confirmed; broad bright areas are reflective glare rather than defined surface damage.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
10/10The physical upper-left back corner, visible against the blue Pokémon frame, appears sharp with no confirmed white exposure at the tip.
The upper-right back corner maintains a clean angular silhouette and an uninterrupted blue perimeter without visible edge lift.
The lower-left back corner beside the blue-and-white swirl remains flat and pointed, with no visible rounding or impact mark.
The lower-right back corner shows an intact blue frame and defined apex; no physical whitening is distinguishable from the image artifacts.
Analysis: The four back corners were individually checked for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. Each retains a defined profile with the blue frame intact; no structural corner damage is visible.
Edges
9/10The upper back edge follows the blue frame in a straight line with no visible breaks or cardstock exposure.
The lower back edge beneath the Pokémon logo appears smoothly cut and free of distinct whitening or material loss.
The physical left back edge, visible on the right side of the flipped photograph, remains even and blue with no confirmed roughness.
The physical right back edge, visible on the left side of the flipped photograph, has a clean blue perimeter and no isolated white fleck distinguishable from glare.
Location: back top edge
Single pinpoint white fleck visible on the blue top border near the right side.

Thin curved light scratch crosses the blue right border in the lower portion.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: All four physical back edges were reviewed from corner to corner for whitening, chipping, and roughness. The blue border remains continuous and the outline is straight, with no confirmed handling wear. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: faint whitening visible only under magnification (top edge); faint scratch visible only under magnification (right edge) — this score reflects those findings.
Surface
9/10No analysis available
Location: back upper-right area of the surface
Thin curved surface scratch is visible near the lower-right blue border.
View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: The back surface was scanned region by region, including the blue frame, central logo, white swirl, and lower perimeter. Gloss and color remain uniform, with no confirmed physical surface defect. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: faint scratch visible only under magnification (upper-right area of the surface) — this score reflects those findings.
