Grade Breakdown
ResultsFront Side
Back Side
Analysis
Locations refer to the photographs as displayed. Front: top-left D, rounded with exposed pale paper; top-right D, visibly rounded and abraded; bottom-left E, compressed/frayed with a short diagonal corner crease; bottom-right C, softened with light whitening. Back: top-left D, rounded and worn; top-right D, rounded with pale abrasion; bottom-left C, softened with lighter wear; bottom-right D, visibly rounded. These are sports-card corners, so the curvature represents wear rather than a factory-rounded TCG cut.
How this affects your grade:
Corners accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. Improving this area could increase the overall grade.
Issues Found (3)

Analysis
Front: top edge has irregular cutting and repeated small losses along the black outline; right edge shows scattered nicks; bottom edge has a conspicuous pale worn strip beneath the portrait; left edge has lighter abrasion and a small interruption near its lower portion. Back: top edge is rough and lightly frayed, left and bottom edges show fine abrasion, and the right edge has lighter wear toward the corners.
How this affects your grade:
Edges accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. Improving this area could increase the overall grade.

Back Side
Analysis
Front shows age-toned cream areas, light surface wear, and a short diagonal crease at the photographed bottom-left corner. No major central crease or tear is visible. Back is unprinted brown cardboard with several light diagonal scuffs, most noticeable left of center; its natural fibers and brown color are not themselves defects.
How this affects your grade:
Surface accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. Improving this area could increase the overall grade.

left-center surface
Several fine diagonal rub marks are visible across the blank cardboard.

Back Side
Analysis
Front cutting margins are uneven: the black outline nearly meets the photographed top edge, while a narrow pale margin remains along much of the opposite edge. This cereal-box design does not provide equivalent borders for a reliable conventional centering ratio; the score reflects visibly uneven cutting rather than a precise 50/50 measurement. The blank back has no printed registration or borders to measure; its numerical centering score is a neutral placeholder.
How this affects your grade:
Centering accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. This strong score contributes well to the final grade.

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