Grading Summary
This Pikachu ex shows excellent centering and a clean surface, with the main wear concentrated in the corners and edges. Visible corner damage at the front bottom-left and scattered edge nicks keep it from the very highest preservation tier.

Four-axis score profile
Centering is outstanding on both sides, with the front measuring about 49/51 left-right and 48/52 top-bottom, and the back about 48.5/51.5 left-right and 44.4/55.6 top-bottom. The measurements support a top-tier centering result.
Corner wear is mild overall, but the front bottom-left corner shows the main issue with a noticeable white break and exposed light core. The other front corners only show small, lower-confidence nicks or faint specking, which keeps the corners solid but not pristine.
Observed
Edge wear is present on both sides, with several small white nicks and tiny breaks along the front edges and a small cluster of whitening on the back bottom edge. The damage is light to moderate in scope, consistent with a mid-high edge result rather than a near-perfect one.
Observed
No surface defects were identified in the card art scans, and the surface remains clean in the available evidence. Minor glare on the front and back reduces inspection quality somewhat, but there is still no observed scratch, dent, crease, or print-line evidence to lower the surface result.
What's holding this card back
Lowest axisEdges (7.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
The limiting defect is Edge Wear (minor, front).
Bringing edges up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Corners, 8.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
