Analysis

Holographic Lugia card (9/111 Neo Genesis) with a cosmos/galaxy style holo pattern. The holofoil surface shows significant wear and surface degradation. There is a large bright light reflection in the center-left of the holo window, but around it visible scratching and clouding can be observed across the foil surface. The holo pattern appears dulled and lacks the crisp rainbow shimmer expected of a clean foil.

How this affects your grade:

Holographic accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. Improving this area could increase the overall grade.
