Gemi Grade Report
Destined Rivals
Published August 26, 2026
This copy presents as a clean card with excellent centering and only light wear concentrated in the corners and edges. The main surface issue is a single back scratch, while some additional back-side wear was ignored because of scan-quality limitations.
Image Quality
• Strong lighting glare across the upper half of the card, including the name area and top artwork. It reduces reliability for surface and edge inspection.
• Parts of this scan are hard to inspect. Glare, overexposure, or low detail may reduce grading confidence.
2 back-side defects ignored due to scan quality.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card is very well centered overall, with front and back measurements both landing close to a 50/50 split and only slight, balanced drift between left-right and top-bottom. That level of symmetry supports a top centering result.
The corners are mostly clean, but there are small white nicks on the back lower-right and lower-left corners, plus a very subtle possible touch on the back upper-left. A back upper-right corner nick was noted but excluded from scoring because that area was affected by image quality, so the remaining corner wear is light and localized.
Observed
Edge wear is minor and concentrated, led by a small nick/whitening at the front right cut edge and a tiny bright pinprick near the lower front edge on the right side. A back-side edge nick was observed as well, but it was excluded from grade scoring because the scan quality in that region was unreliable.
Observed
Surface condition is strong overall, with the main issue being a thin diagonal whitish scratch in the upper-left blue field on the back, extending toward the area left of the logo. The front glare reduced inspection reliability somewhat, but the visible surface marking remains limited to that single notable scratch.
Observed
Corners (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 Corner Wear (minor, back).
Bringing corners up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Edges, 9.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
