Gemi Grade Report
151
Published July 3, 2026
Centering is strong, but the card shows noticeable corner and edge wear plus a moderate crease in the lower front surface area. Overall, it presents well but falls short of top-tier condition.
Image Quality
2 back-side defects ignored due to scan quality.
Parts of this scan are hard to inspect. Glare, overexposure, or low detail may reduce grading confidence.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card’s centering is strong on both sides, with the front measuring very close to balanced top-to-bottom and only a mild left/right offset, while the back is also reasonably well aligned. That level of measured placement supports a high centering result.
Corner wear is most noticeable at the front bottom-left corner, where whitening, small chips, and fraying expose white core, with lighter wear at the front bottom-right and faint wear on the back corners. Some back-side corner evidence was partially limited by glare and low detail, but the overall pattern is consistent with moderate corner wear rather than heavy damage.
Observed
There is minor but visible edge wear along the cut edge, including small chips/whitening on the front left and bottom areas and a matching small white chip on the back bottom edge. One additional back-side edge nick was excluded from scoring because the region was affected by image quality, but the remaining edge defects still justify a modest reduction.
Observed
The main surface issue is a moderate horizontal crease/wrinkle in the foil divider near the bottom center-right, just above the text box and around the retreat icon area. Aside from that, the back art appears clean, so the surface result is driven primarily by that single, clearly visible crease.
Observed
Corners (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 (moderate, front).
Bringing corners up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Edges, 7.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
