Gemi Grade Report
Ascended Heroes
Published July 20, 2026
This card presents very well overall, with excellent centering and strong corners and edges aside from a few minor back-side exceptions. The main limitation is a pair of tiny surface specks on the back border, which keep the surface just shy of perfect.
Image Quality
2 back-side defects ignored due to scan quality.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
The card shows excellent centering on both sides, with the front nearly dead-on and the back still comfortably within a high-grade range. The measured offsets support the top score assigned here.
A small amount of whitening was observed on the back top-right corner, but it sat in an image-quality affected region and was excluded from scoring. With that limitation, the corner presentation supports the assigned top-tier result.
Observed
One small nick/whitening area was detected along the back edge, but it was also in a scan-quality affected region and was not used in the grade calculation. Aside from that unreliable area, the edges present as clean enough for the assigned result.
Observed
The surface is mostly clean, with only a couple of tiny white specks on the back blue border. Those minor marks are consistent with the slight deduction from a perfect surface score.
Observed
Surface (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 Surface Mark (minor, back).
Bringing surface up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
