This card meets the criteria for a 9.5 grade across all measured factors. Surface quality, centering, and edge condition exceed the threshold for Mint, with one minor edge measurement preventing a perfect 10.
Measured subscores.
Border widths measured at 25/50/75% on all four edges, front and back. 54/46 worst-axis ratio — within Mint+ tolerance (≤ 55/45).
Multi-angle scratch detection across 17 azimuths per pass, 4 pass elevations. No line defects above the 4σ threshold over the card interior.
Sub-pixel Kasa circle fit on each corner against the 3.00mm Pokémon TCG spec, plus silhouette-chip detection. Three corners within ±0.05mm of spec, one with 0.18mm rounding.
Silhouette and foil-chip detection along each of the four edges. Minor 2.1mm whitening on the left edge — the limiting factor preventing a perfect grade.
Subscores express the measured value on a 0–10 scale. The final grade is determined by tolerance bands, not by averaging: when every factor sits inside the Pristine band, the composite is published as 10. Higher-precision values are retained in the underlying record.
What this means.
This is your card's grade explained in plain English.
Every score is measured, not eyeballed — each factor is checked against fixed tolerances rather than a grader's opinion. Want the full measurements behind each number? Switch to the .
Grading rationale.
This card measured at the upper threshold for Mint+ across three of four grading factors. Surface reconstruction detected no defects. Centering is within 55/45 tolerance on both axes. Three of four corners are geometrically sharp.
Two factors prevented a perfect 10: the bottom-left corner shows 0.18mm of rounding with trace whitening, and the left edge has 2.1mm of minor whitening between 38–40mm from the top. A Pristine 10 grade requires all corners and edges within 0.1mm tolerance with no whitening. This card falls one tier below that threshold.

Corner analysis.
Each corner of both faces is measured against reference geometry at 80 pixels per millimetre. Any rounding, whitening, or damage is quantified and included in the corner sub-score. This card scored 9.5/10 — seven corners are within Mint tolerance, one shows minor wear flagged below.
| Face | Corner | Rounding | Whitening | Tier | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front | Top Left | < 0.05 mm | None | Pristine | Pass |
| Front | Top Right | < 0.05 mm | None | Pristine | Pass |
| Front | Bottom Left | 0.18 mm | 0.3 mm² | Mint+ | Flag |
| Front | Bottom Right | < 0.05 mm | None | Pristine | Pass |
| Back | Top Left | < 0.05 mm | None | Pristine | Pass |
| Back | Top Right | < 0.05 mm | None | Pristine | Pass |
| Back | Bottom Left | < 0.05 mm | None | Pristine | Pass |
| Back | Bottom Right | < 0.05 mm | None | Pristine | Pass |
Edge analysis.
Each edge of both faces is measured across its full length for uniformity, chipping, and surface breaks. The edge sub-score of 9/10 was limited by minor variation on the front-left edge — all other edges are within Mint tolerance.
| Face | Edge | Whitening | Roughness | Tier | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front | Top | None | < 0.03 mm | Pristine | Pass |
| Front | Bottom | None | < 0.03 mm | Pristine | Pass |
| Front | Left | 2.1 mm | 0.08 mm | Mint | Flag |
| Front | Right | None | < 0.03 mm | Pristine | Pass |
| Back | Top | None | < 0.03 mm | Pristine | Pass |
| Back | Bottom | None | < 0.03 mm | Pristine | Pass |
| Back | Left | None | < 0.03 mm | Pristine | Pass |
| Back | Right | None | < 0.03 mm | Pristine | Pass |
Surface analysis.
Photometric stereo reconstruction captured the full surface of the card at microscopic resolution across both faces. The surface sub-score is 10/10 — no scratches, dents, or print defects detected above measurement threshold.
| Face | Scratches | Max depth | Dents | Print defects | Max delta | Tier | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front | 0 | — | 0 | 0 | < 0.01 mm | Pristine | Pass |
| Back | 0 | — | 0 | 0 | < 0.01 mm | Pristine | Pass |
Centering measurement.
Border offsets measured at three points along each side of both faces — 24 measurements total. A single midpoint reading would mask print skew and warp; three points along each side reveal whether the border runs parallel to the cut edge or tilts diagonally across the card.
| Side | P1 | P2 | P3 | Var. | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top | 1.58 | 1.60 | 1.62 | 0.04 | Pass |
| Bottom | 1.59 | 1.60 | 1.61 | 0.02 | Pass |
| Left | 1.20 | 1.20 | 1.20 | 0.00 | Pass |
| Right | 1.18 | 1.20 | 1.22 | 0.04 | Pass |
| Side | P1 | P2 | P3 | Var. | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top | 1.39 | 1.40 | 1.41 | 0.02 | Pass |
| Bottom | 1.40 | 1.40 | 1.40 | 0.00 | Pass |
| Left | 1.19 | 1.20 | 1.21 | 0.02 | Pass |
| Right | 1.20 | 1.20 | 1.20 | 0.00 | Pass |
Shape and flatness.
Card shape measured in three dimensions and compared against a perfectly flat reference plane. Warp, bow, and twist are quantified. This card deviates 0.08mm from flat — within the Mint+ tolerance of 0.15mm.
