Gemi Grade Report
BW Black Star Promos
Published June 3, 2026
The card has excellent centering and a very clean surface, but corner wear and especially back edge wear are the main condition limits. The overall look is strong, though the edge damage prevents it from grading like a near-pristine copy.
Image Quality
• Parts of this scan are hard to inspect. Glare, overexposure, or low detail may reduce grading confidence.
• Strong lighting reflections across the card face, especially near the top and lower half, could be mistaken for surface wear or obscure inspection.
8 back-side defects ignored due to scan quality.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card is very well centered on both sides, with the front reading about 52.8/47.2 left-right and 52.2/47.8 top-bottom, and the back staying similarly close to even. That level of balance supports a top centering result.
Corner wear is present on multiple corners, led by moderate wear on the front top-left and back bottom-right, with smaller nicks on the remaining corners. The wear is visible but not uniformly severe, which fits a mid-range corners result.
Observed
The back edges show the strongest wear, including several clear chips and white breaks along the bottom, top, and right edges, with some areas showing moderate roughening. A number of additional edge defects were observed but excluded from scoring because those regions were affected by image quality, so the clear remaining wear still supports a low edges result.
Observed
The surface is largely clean, with only tiny isolated specks or marks on the back art and near the edge boundary, and no meaningful scratches, dents, creases, or foil wear reported. Those small spots are too minor and localized to keep the surface from landing at the top level.
Observed
Edges (3.0) 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 (Corners, 6.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
