Grading Summary
This Ivysaur shows strong centering and clean edges, with only light corner wear. Surface scratching and scuffing on both sides are the main condition issues and drive the card’s overall appearance down.

Four-axis score profile
The card shows near-even left/right and acceptable top/bottom alignment on both sides, with the front measuring close to balanced and the back only slightly favoring the right and bottom. That level of alignment supports the strong centering result.
Corner wear is light overall, with small white breaks at the back top-left and bottom-right tips and only slight adjacent whitening. Two additional back-corner wear areas were visible but excluded from scoring because that portion of the scan was affected by glare and reduced detail, so the corner result reflects the visible light wear while accounting for the cap context.
Observed
The edge strip scans did not show meaningful edge wear, so the edges present cleanly overall. The absence of notable chipping, roughness, or border breakage is consistent with the top edge result.
Surface condition is the main weakness: the front shows thin scratches in the lower text area, while the back has a more noticeable scratch cluster in the upper-right blue field, additional scratching across the red Poké Ball, and a scuffed mark along the top border. Those multiple marks and scratches across both sides explain the low surface result.

What's holding this card back
Lowest axisSurface (3.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
The limiting defect is Surface Scratch (moderate, back).
Bringing surface up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 9.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
