Destined Rivals
Published June 22, 2026
Centering and corner/edge quality are excellent overall. The main limitation is surface, where a few small spots and smudges are visible on both sides.

Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Measured centering is excellent on both sides, with the front reading about 49/51 left-right and 46.8/53.2 top-bottom, and the back nearly perfectly balanced. That level of placement supports a top centering result.
Corners appear essentially pristine, with only a very subtle speck noted at the back bottom-left rounded tip that could even be image noise. The overall corner condition is consistent with a top score.
Observed
The visible edge structure is strong overall, and the only noted edge nick on the back left was excluded from scoring because it fell in an image-quality affected region. With no trusted edge wear remaining to weigh against it, the edge result stays at the highest level.
Observed
Surface condition is held back by several small but real marks and spots across the card, including a tiny white speck on the front torso area, a diffuse dark smudge on the back top border, and additional small scuffs/specks on the back art and border. These are minor in isolation but scattered enough to justify a modest reduction from a pristine surface result.
Observed
Surface (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 Surface Mark (moderate, back).
Bringing surface up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
