Grading Summary
This card presents strong centering and clean corners, with the primary deductions coming from edge wear and visible holo surface spotting. Overall, it shows respectable eye appeal but not a pristine finish.

Four-axis score profile
Centering is strong overall, with the front essentially dead-center left to right and only a moderate top-to-bottom shift. The back is also within a solid range, so the centering result is consistent with a high subgrade.
Corners are mostly clean, with only light corner wear noted on the back right and one back left corner observation that was excluded from scoring because that region was affected by image quality. The visible wear appears limited rather than heavy, which supports the strong corner result.
Observed
Edge wear is the main limitation here, with whitening and small nicks visible on both the front and back cut edges, including a more noticeable cluster along the back left edge. The wear is still relatively localized and minor to moderate in severity, which fits a middling edge result rather than a severe one.
Observed
The surface shows several spots in the front holo field, including one more pronounced brown blotch in the upper-left area and a few smaller dark specks across the artwork. Because the marks are concentrated on the front holo area and are mostly spot-like rather than broad structural damage, the surface result reflects visible but contained imperfections.
Observed
What's holding this card back
Lowest axisEdges (6.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
The limiting defect is Edge Wear (moderate, back).
Bringing edges up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Surface, 6.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
