Grading Summary
This Pikachu shows excellent centering with light-to-moderate wear concentrated in the corners and edges. Surface issues are minor overall, mainly faint scratches and tiny specks on the back.

Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Measured centering is very strong on both sides, with the front and back staying close to even left/right and top/bottom balance. The scan supports a top-tier centering result.
Corner wear is present on all four back corners, with clear whitening at the tips and along adjacent arcs, plus a subtler possible break on the front top-right corner. That pattern supports a moderate corners result despite the front defect being light and partly uncertain.
Observed
Edge wear is visible on both the front and back cut edges, including small nicks, slight fraying, and whitening concentrated along the back strips and a minor chip on the front edge. The wear is scattered but generally small, fitting a solid but not pristine edges result.
Observed
Surface handling marks are limited and mostly minor, consisting of a faint diagonal scratch in the back upper-left blue field plus a few tiny specks and scuffs on the back border and field. With no major dents, creases, or heavy scratching noted, the surface remains comparatively strong.

What's holding this card back
Lowest axisCorners (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 Corner Wear (minor, back).
Bringing corners up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Edges, 7.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
