Gemi Grade Report
Destined Rivals
Published June 24, 2026
This card shows excellent overall presentation, with only a minor back edge nick and a very subtle possible front corner issue. Centering and surface condition are especially strong.
Grade Shape
Four-axis score profile
Measured centering is very strong on both sides, with only a slight front-heavy and back-reverse imbalance that still falls comfortably within a top-tier range. The centered alignment supports the fixed top score.
The corners present as essentially clean overall, with only one subtle possible white break on the front bottom-left corner. That mark is minor and somewhat ambiguous in the scan, which is consistent with a top corner grade.
Observed
Edge quality is strong overall, but the back left edge shows a small nick/whitening interruption near the cut edge. The defect is minor and isolated, matching a near-perfect edge result rather than a flawless one.
Observed
No surface defects were detected on the front or back art scans, and there is no evidence of scratches, dents, creases, print lines, spots, foil wear, or other surface anomalies. The surface therefore supports a pristine assessment.
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, back).
Bringing edges up to the level of the next-weakest axis (Centering, 10.0) would be the single biggest improvement available.
