Gemi Grade Report
HeartGold SoulSilver
Published July 6, 2026
This Gyarados shows strong overall condition with excellent centering, very clean surface, and only light corner and edge wear. The main visible limitations are small edge nicks and minor corner whitening, while the surface remains effectively pristine.
Image Quality
Low-confidence card geometry detected (confidence 0.68, detected sides 0).
1 back-side defect 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
Front centering is slightly right-heavy at about 56/44 left-to-right, while the top/bottom split is essentially even. The back is very close to centered both horizontally and vertically, supporting a strong overall centering result.
The corners show light wear rather than heavy rounding or crushing: the back-left corner has a small area of whitening along the arc and adjacent edge, and the back-top-left corner has a tiny nick. One very subtle back-bottom-right corner mark was not used for scoring because that region was affected by image softness, so the corner result reflects the clearer visible wear.
Observed
Edge wear is limited to small nicks and whitening along the cut edge on the front and back, including minor chips near the far-left and far-right portions of the front edge and a small nick on the back edge. The wear is present in multiple spots but remains light overall, which fits the solid edge result.
Observed
The surface appears very clean, with only tiny dark specks noted on the front and back that are negligible in size and isolated in low-impact areas. There is no meaningful scratch, dent, crease, or print-line evidence affecting the card's surface.
Observed
Edges (8.0) 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 (minor, front).
Bringing edges up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 9.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
