Gemi Grade Report
Ascended Heroes
Published August 17, 2026
This Hitmontop shows excellent overall condition with strong centering, clean edges, and very sharp corners. The only meaningful downgrade comes from a small back surface speck, while a separate corner observation was excluded due to image-quality limitations.

Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Centering is excellent on both sides, with only slight offset in the measured margins and no meaningful imbalance in the card layout. The front and back readings stay well within a visually balanced range, supporting a top score.
Corners are overall very sharp, with one tiny bit of whitening on the back right corner and a separate back top-left corner observation that was excluded from scoring because the scan region was affected by image quality. The remaining corner detail appears clean enough to support a perfect result.
Observed
No edge wear was detected in the front or back edge strip scans, so the borders present as clean and intact. With no meaningful chipping, whitening, or roughness evident, the edge grade is fully supported.
The surface is nearly pristine, with the only noted issue being a tiny dark speck on the back central Poké Ball area. That isolated minor spot is enough to keep the surface just below perfect, but it is limited in size and impact.
Observed
Surface (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 Surface Spot (minor, back).
Bringing surface up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
