Gemi Grade Report
Ascended Heroes
Published August 18, 2026
This Pikachu ex presents as a clean card overall, with strong edge and surface preservation and only minor centering variance. The main limitations are the centering cap from lower front measurement confidence and the glare-affected back area where minor specks were excluded from scoring.
Image Quality
• Strong lighting reflection across the right half of the card obscures surface inspection in that area.
• Parts of this scan are hard to inspect. Glare, overexposure, or low detail may reduce grading confidence.
• Strong lighting glare across the lower half and right side obscures parts of the text and border, making inspection unreliable.
3 back-side defects ignored due to scan quality.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card is close to evenly centered overall, with the front showing a modest top/bottom lean while the back measures nearly balanced in both directions. The centering result is capped because the front openCV measurement confidence fell below the grading threshold.
Corners present as clean overall, with only a faint, low-confidence white break noted at the back bottom-right corner tip. The mark is subtle and localized, so it does not materially detract from the corner result.
Observed
No edge wear was detected on the front or back edge-strip scans, and the visible borders appear clean. The edge result is therefore supported by the absence of meaningful edge defects.
Surface inspection shows no grade-impacting scratches, dents, creases, or print lines in the assessable areas. A few tiny back-side specks were observed in glare-affected regions, but they were excluded from scoring because the scan quality there was unreliable.
Observed
Centering (8.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
Bringing centering up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Corners, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
