Gemi Grade Report
Guardians Rising
Published June 14, 2026
This Carvanha shows strong centering but heavy physical wear, especially on the edges and surface. Multiple creases, corner whitening, and repeated edge chips make it a clearly worn example overall.

Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card is well centered overall, with the front showing a mild left-and-top bias and the back reading close to balanced with only slight vertical and horizontal drift. That level of offset is consistent with a strong centering result.
Corner wear is clearly present on multiple corners, including noticeable fraying and whitening at the front top-right and back bottom-left corners, with lighter but still visible wear on the other corners. The damage is real and repeated, but it is generally limited to corner tips and arcs rather than severe corner collapse.
Observed
Edge wear is the main weakness here, with heavy fraying and whitening along the front cut edge, additional chips and nicks around the front perimeter, and visible whitening on the back edge strip as well. Some back-side edge defects were observed in image-quality-affected regions and excluded from scoring, but the remaining clear edge damage still supports a very low edge result.
Observed
Surface condition is severely compromised by multiple creases, including a prominent vertical crease through the front name area, a long diagonal crease across the front text area, and a broad cracked crease band across the lower half of the back. The small spots and scratches are secondary to the major crease and wear pattern, which explains the extremely low surface result.
Observed
Surface (1.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
The limiting defect is Surface Crease (severe, back).
Bringing surface up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Edges, 2.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
