Analysis

Card is in strong overall condition. The primary concerns are slight softening on the bottom-left corner and mild top-heavy centering. Surface and edges are clean. A very presentable copy.

How this affects your grade:

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

Analysis

Full-art holographic foil card featuring Mega Gengar EX. The holographic surface displays a vivid rainbow shimmer across the artwork area. There is a prominent bright hotspot/glare reflection in the upper-left quadrant of the art that partially obscures the foil pattern beneath it. The foil surface shows some minor cloudiness or diffusion in the upper-left and center-left areas, likely light surface wear or minor scuffing affecting reflectivity. The lower portion of the foil art appears relatively clean and vibrant. No significant peeling or adhesion failures are visible.

How this affects your grade:

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