Gemi Grade Report
Celebrations
Published August 19, 2026
This Flying Pikachu V shows excellent overall eye appeal, with strong centering and mostly clean corners, edges, and surface. The main flaw is a localized front bottom edge chip/whitening, while one stronger corner defect was visible but not counted because of scan-quality limitations.
Image Quality
1 front-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
Centering is strong on both sides, with the front measuring about 53/47 left-right and 52/48 top-bottom, and the back measuring about 48/52 left-right and 49/51 top-bottom. Those measurements support a top centering result with only a very slight offset at most.
The corners present very clean overall. There is only a few tiny white specks along the front top-left rounded edge, while the more obvious front bottom-left corner wear was observed but excluded from scoring because that region was affected by image quality, so the final corners result remains at the highest level.
Observed
The edge result is held back by the front bottom cut edge, where a moderate pale chip and whitening are visible near the left end and extend slightly into the adjacent border. Other edges appear comparatively clean, but that localized wear is enough to keep the edge grade below perfect.
Observed
Surface detail is essentially clean, with no meaningful scratches, dents, creases, print lines, or foil wear identified in the scan evidence. The only note is a tiny white speck on the back bottom border area, which is negligible and does not materially affect the surface result.
Observed
Edges (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 Edge Wear (moderate, front).
Bringing edges up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
