Gemi Grade Report
Chaos Rising
Published June 21, 2026
This Xerneas shows excellent centering and very clean overall preservation. Minor edge wear and a couple of tiny back-surface specks keep it from perfect, but the card remains in strong condition.
Image Quality
• Parts of this scan are hard to inspect. Glare, overexposure, or low detail may reduce grading confidence.
• Strong lighting glare washes out the upper-left area and some lower-right border detail, making inspection less reliable.
1 back-side defect ignored due to scan quality.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Centering is excellent on both sides, with the front measuring essentially perfect left/right and only a slight top/bottom shift, and the back also staying very close to even. The measurements support a top centering result.
The visible corners are clean overall and support a pristine corner result. A single back top-corner whitening was noted, but it sat in an image-quality affected region and was excluded from score consideration, so the remaining assessed corner evidence stays strong.
Observed
Edge wear is limited to minor localized whitening/fraying: slight irregular wear along the front bottom left section of the cut edge and a small nick at the far right back edge. The damage is light and isolated, which fits a strong but not flawless edge result.
Observed
The surface is well preserved overall, with only two tiny isolated specks on the back art area and no reported scratches, dents, creases, or foil wear. Those small marks are minor enough to keep the surface result in top condition territory.
Observed
Edges (9.0) 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 (Surface, 9.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
