Gemi Grade Report
Base Set
Published August 23, 2026
The card shows strong centering with generally clean edges, but the back corners have localized whitening and the surface has scattered specks on both sides. Overall, the main visible wear is concentrated in the back corners and a few small surface marks rather than broad damage.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Front centering is essentially perfect left-to-right, but the vertical balance is noticeably heavier on the bottom than the top. The back is close to even on both axes, so the card still presents as strongly centered overall.
The front corners appear clean, but the back right-bottom corner shows noticeable whitening with adjacent arc wear, and the back left-bottom corner has a smaller white break extending along the edge. That localized corner wear is consistent with a modest reduction from pristine condition.
Observed
Edge wear is limited to a couple of small white nicks along the back cut edge, with no broad chipping or heavy fraying elsewhere. The wear is present but restrained, which supports a near-top edge result.
Observed
Surface assessment is held back by scattered small dark specks on the front border and artwork, plus a few faint specks on the back around the Poké Ball and logo area. The marks are mostly minor to negligible and there is no indication of major scratches, dents, or creases, but the visible spotting keeps the surface from looking pristine.
Observed
Corners (8.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
The limiting defect is Corner Wear (moderate, back).
Bringing corners up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Surface, 8.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
