Grading Summary
This Charizard ex shows strong overall presentation, with only light localized wear at the front left edge and front bottom-left corner. Centering is still solid despite a noticeable but moderate front/back bias, and the surface appears clean.
Subgrades
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card shows strong overall centering with only moderate imbalance: the front is right-heavy and slightly bottom-heavy, while the back shows the inverse bias. That level of offset is still consistent with a 9.
Corner quality is strong overall, with only a small white break/chip along the front bottom-left corner arc. The other corners are clean, so the light localized wear supports a 9.
Observed
Edge wear is limited to a small white nick/chip at the far left cut edge on the front. With no meaningful wear elsewhere, the edges presentation fits a 9.
Observed
No surface scratches, dents, creases, print lines, spots, foil wear, or other surface anomalies were reported in the scan evidence. That clean surface result supports a 10.
What's holding this card back
Lowest axisCentering (9.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
Bringing centering up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Corners, 9.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
