Gemi Grade Report
Base Set 2
Published August 11, 2026
The card is very well centered with generally strong corners and edges. Multiple small surface specks and a bit of localized border wear are the main factors limiting the overall presentation.

Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Centering is excellent on both sides, with the front measuring very close to 55/45 left-right and nearly even top-bottom, and the back essentially balanced both horizontally and vertically. This supports a top centering result.
Corners are largely sharp overall, with only a small nick/chip on the front top-right corner causing a slight break in the border line. A faint back top-left whitening area was noted but excluded from scoring because that corner crop was blurred and mottled, leaving the corner wear there uncertain.
Observed
Edges are clean with only minor localized wear, most notably a small whitening/chip at the far left of the back top edge with slight fraying into the border. That limited edge wear is consistent with a strong edge grade.
Observed
Surface shows several small, scattered marks rather than broad wear: a tiny scuff/speck on the front top yellow border, plus multiple small specks on the back artwork and border areas, including in the Poké Ball field. The defects are minor but repeated across both sides, which fits a modestly reduced surface result.
Observed
Surface (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 Surface Mark (minor, front).
Bringing surface up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Corners, 9.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
