Gemi Grade Report
Base Set 2
Published June 12, 2026
This Goldeen has excellent centering and a clean surface, but the back edges and corners show clear wear. The card’s low edge result is driven by repeated whitening and chips, while corners are held down by visible corner wear on the back.
Image Quality
1 back-side defect ignored due to scan quality.
Low-confidence card geometry detected (confidence 0.84, detected sides 2).
Parts of this scan are hard to inspect. Glare, overexposure, or low detail may reduce grading confidence.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card is very well centered overall, with the front essentially dead-on left-to-right and only a modest top-to-bottom shift. The back is also close to balanced, so the measured alignment supports a strong centering result.
Corner wear is clearly present, especially on the back bottom-left and bottom-right corners where the white wear is noticeable and exposed along the rounded arcs. The front corners show only lighter, subtler wear, and the top-left back corner was observed but excluded from scoring because that region was affected by image quality.
Observed
Edge wear is the dominant weakness, with repeated whitening and small chips along the back edge strips and additional nicking on the front top edge. The concentration of connected breaks and worn patches, especially on the upper back edge and right-side segments, justifies the very low edge result.
Observed
Surface quality is strong overall, with only a thin diagonal scratch on the back Poké Ball and a tiny isolated speck in the blue background. These are minor and limited in scope, so they do not materially impact the surface result.
Observed
Edges (2.0) 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 (Corners, 5.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
