Gemi Grade Report
Sun & Moon
Published July 18, 2026
This card is very well centered and has mostly clean corners, but its grade is held back by visible edge wear and scattered surface specks. Some back-side defects were observed in scan-quality-affected regions and were treated cautiously in the narrative.
Image Quality
• Parts of this scan are hard to inspect. Glare, overexposure, or low detail may reduce grading confidence.

Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card is very well centered overall, with the front measuring close to even on both axes and the back also staying near balanced. That level of alignment supports a top centering result.
Most corners present cleanly, with only a small nick and whitening visible at the back lower-left corner. Additional corner wear was observed in scan-quality-affected regions but was excluded from scoring, so the evaluated corners remain strong overall.
Observed
Edge wear is the main structural issue, with a small notch on the front top edge and several minor white nicks/chips along the back bottom edge. A couple of additional back-edge nicks were present but excluded because they fell in image-quality-affected regions, leaving the evaluated edge condition clearly below near-mint.
Observed
The surface shows multiple small blemishes across both sides: a few tiny specks in the front artwork, a small bright mark near the front top border, and a brown speck on the back lower white band. The flaws are minor and mostly spot-like rather than deep scratches or creases, but their repeated presence keeps the surface from grading higher.
Observed
Surface (6.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
The limiting defect is Surface Spot (minor, front).
Bringing surface up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Edges, 7.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
