Gemi Grade Report
Battle Styles
Published July 31, 2026
The card presents very well overall, with excellent centering and clean edges and surface. The only noted issue is light corner wear on two front corners.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Measured centering is very strong on both sides, with the front close to even left/right and top/bottom balance and the back showing only mild asymmetry. This supports the top-tier centering result.
Minor corner wear is visible on the front top-right and bottom-right corners as small white breaks/nicks at the tip area. The wear is light and localized, which fits a strong but not perfect corners result.
Observed
No edge wear was detected on either edge-strip scan, and the card art scans did not show additional edge damage. The edges therefore support a clean result.
No surface scratches, dents, creases, print lines, spots, foil wear, or other surface anomalies were detected on the front or back art scans. The surface evidence is clean throughout.
Corners (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 Corner Wear (minor, front).
Bringing corners up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
