Gemi Grade Report
SWSH Black Star Promos
Published June 28, 2026
This Galarian Moltres presents very strong centering and generally clean corners and edges. The main reduction comes from a handful of minor surface border marks and limited scan glare on both sides.

Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Measured centering is excellent on both sides, with the front near 49/51 left-right and about 48/52 top-bottom, and the back similarly close to balanced. This supports the top centering result.
Corners are largely sharp, with only a minor white nick/frayed spot reported at the back top-right corner. A very slight back top-left irregularity was excluded from scoring due to image-quality limitations, so the corner result reflects mostly clean corners with one light wear point.
Observed
Edge wear is limited to small, low-severity nicks along the cut edge, including the front top-right and a small whitening spot on the back bottom-left. The wear is isolated rather than continuous, which is consistent with a strong edge result.
Observed
The surface shows a few small white border spots on both sides, including the front yellow border and a small speck on the back blue border. These are minor but scattered, and the glare noted on the scans reduces how confidently the cleaner areas can be inspected, which fits the slightly lower surface result.
Observed
Surface (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 Surface Mark (minor, front).
Bringing surface up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Corners, 9.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
