UNCERTAINTIES

•Only the front of the card is visible, preventing a full assessment of back centering and potential edge wear on the reverse.
•The image resolution is not high enough to meticulously check for print dots, surface scratches, or holographic inconsistencies (though this card is not holographic).

WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY

→Provide clear, well-lit images of the card's back to assess centering and any rear edge/corner damage.
→Provide high-resolution images taken under angled light to inspect for surface imperfections like scratches or print lines.
→Measure the card's dimensions at multiple points to ensure it adheres to standard TCG card size.
→Inspect the text font and image clarity closely for any discrepancies against known authentic copies.

CONDITION & GRADE

Condition

The visible card appears to be in at least 'Near Mint' raw condition. Centering looks reasonable, edges and corners show minimal to no visible wear. The surface appears clean, though minor scratching or print lines cannot be fully assessed without angled lighting.
