Gemi Grade Report
MEP Black Star Promos
Published June 24, 2026
Centering and corners are exceptionally strong, and the edges are only lightly affected by small localized wear. The main limiter is the front surface crease, with a couple of minor back specks also present.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Measured centering is extremely tight on both sides and top/bottom on the front and back, with only slight deviation from true balance. That level of alignment supports a near-perfect centering result.
The corners present as very clean overall, with only tiny, low-confidence hints of whitening or roughness at a couple of corners and no meaningful corner breakdown. The evidence is consistent with a top-tier corners result.
Observed
Edge wear is limited to a few small localized nicks/whitening spots along the front cut edge, while the back edge strip scan is clean. The defects are minor and isolated, which fits a strong but not flawless edges result.
Observed
Surface is held back by a clearly visible crease-like wrinkle across the lower front card area, which is the main issue here. Two tiny light specks on the back add minor additional surface wear, but the crease is the dominant factor.
Observed
Surface (7.0) is the lowest of the four axes. It's the main thing keeping this card from a higher grade.
The limiting defect is Surface Crease (moderate, front).
Bringing surface up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Edges, 9.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
