Gemi Grade Report
Surging Sparks
Published July 14, 2026
The card presents very strongly overall, with perfect-looking centering, corners, and surface. The only noticeable issue is minor edge whitening on the front cut edge, which is why edges land just below the rest.
Image Quality
Parts of this scan are hard to inspect. Glare, overexposure, or low detail may reduce grading confidence.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Centering is excellent and consistent with the measured boundary observations: the front shows a slight but still very small tilt toward the right and bottom, while the back is nearly even both horizontally and vertically. The reported 10 is well supported by the close-to-balanced percentages on both sides.
No corner wear was detected on either the front or back corner scans, so the corners present as clean and sharp. That matches the top score assigned here.
Edges are mostly clean, but the front edge strip scan shows two small whitening/nick spots along the cut edge, one at the far left boundary and another near the left end of the strip. Those limited minor imperfections are enough to keep the result just below perfect, while the back edge scan appears clean; the back-side glare note slightly limits inspection confidence but does not change the observed edge wear.
Observed
No surface scratches, dents, creases, print lines, spots, foil wear, or other surface anomalies were detected in the art scans. The surface therefore supports a pristine result.
Edges (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 Edge Wear (minor, front).
Bringing edges up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
