Gemi Grade Report
Brilliant Stars
Published August 22, 2026
This card shows strong overall preservation, with clean corners and surface and only minor edge whitening/nicks as the primary flaw. Centering is solid enough to support a high-grade appearance despite a mild front vertical imbalance.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Measured centering is strong overall and supports a high result, with the back close to even and the front showing a noticeable top/bottom lean. The front left/right split is also slightly off, but not enough to outweigh the generally solid presentation.
No corner wear was detected on either side, so the corners present cleanly and fully support the top score.
Edge wear is the main limitation here, with small whitening/nicks visible along the cut edge on both front and back. The marks are minor and localized, but they are sufficient to hold the edges below a perfect result.
Observed
No surface scratches, dents, creases, print lines, spots, foil wear, or other surface anomalies were detected in the front or back art scans, so the surface appears clean and well preserved.
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.
