How does authenticity detection work?

GRADING EXPERT'S TAKE

Trading Card Market Analyst

Card Specialist

Identification of the card is certain based on clear set markers and artist style. Condition assessment is high confidence due to the clear visibility of the rear crease.

KEY EVIDENCE

  • 1Set number 186/196 matches the Special Illustration Rare slot for Lost Origin.
  • 2Macro image provides 10x magnification showing authentic linen-style texture.
  • 3Visible damage on reverse (crease) is diagnostic for condition downgrading.
  • 4Holographic bleed and light pattern match authentic printing standards.

UNCERTAINTIES

  • •Significant horizontal crease on the reverse side through the center.
  • •Discrepancy between user-provided 'Mint' status and visible structural damage.

WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY

  • →Place the card in a PVC-free sleeve and top-loader immediately to prevent crease worsening.
  • →Verify the 'black line' ink layer on the side edge of the card stock to confirm paper sandwich construction.

CONDITION & GRADE

PSA 3-4

Grading breakdown

The horizontal crease through the Pokéball on the reverse side is a major structural defect that prevents a high grade. Visible whitening on corners and slight off-centering additional factor into the lower assessment despite the user's 'Mint' label.

Condition

The card shows a significant horizontal crease across the center of the reverse side, extending from left to right. There is visible whitening and edge wear on the rear corners, particularly the top right and bottom left. The front surface texture appears intact, but the structural damage on the back significantly affects the grade.
