151
Published July 1, 2026
This Charmander presents very strong centering, clean edges, and only limited corner wear concentrated on the back lower-left. The surface is mostly clean aside from a tiny faint scratch, with minor glare making a few areas slightly harder to inspect.

Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Measured centering is essentially even on both sides, with the front at about 51/49 and the back still close to balanced horizontally. The back shows a mild top/bottom skew, but overall the alignment remains strong and consistent with a top-tier centering result.
Corner wear is concentrated on the back lower-left corner, where visible whitening and exposed core indicate the most meaningful wear on the card. A tiny speck on the back upper-right corner adds a minor secondary flaw, but the overall corner condition still supports a solid, though not pristine, result.
Observed
Edges are largely clean, with only a tiny possible nick or speck along the back top edge near the blue border. That level of wear is very limited and does not meaningfully detract from the overall edge presentation.
Observed
The surface shows only a very small faint scratch/scuff on the front art area above the bottom rules text. It is minor and localized, leaving the rest of the surface looking clean enough to support a top-end surface result.
Observed
Corners (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 Corner Wear (moderate, back).
Bringing corners up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
