Grading Summary

Confidence

70%

This Houndoom V shows strong overall presentation with minor corner and edge wear and solid centering. Surface quality appears clean, with the main limitation coming from light, localized border wear rather than broader card damage.

Four-axis score profile

0-10

Centering

9.0

Centering is strong overall, with an essentially even left-right split on the front and only a slight left-right drift on the back. The main departure is the front top-to-bottom balance, which is noticeably shifted toward the bottom border, keeping it from being perfect despite the otherwise clean alignment.

Corners

9.0

The corners show only light wear: a small nick on the front bottom-left corner and a minor edge break at the back top-left corner. The back corner flaw was visible but excluded from scoring because it sat in an image-quality-affected region, so the result reflects minor, localized corner wear rather than heavier rounding or crushing.

Observed

Edges

9.0

Edge wear is limited to tiny whitening and roughness at the far left of the front top edge and a very small nick on the back bottom edge. These are minor, isolated defects and are consistent with a strong edge result.

Observed

Surface

10.0

No surface scratches, dents, creases, print lines, spots, foil wear, or other surface anomalies were identified on the front or back art scans. Despite some glare reducing inspection quality in a few areas, the reported evidence supports a clean surface result.
