Grok AI Scores

Grok focuses on centering, corners, edges, and surface; holographic cards from this era often lose points on surface/edges due to foil sensitivity.

  • Centering: Front ~55/45 left/right, 50/50 top/bottom—good for the set.
  • Corners: Mild rounding and whitening visible, especially lower left; not razor-sharp.
  • Edges: Some chipping/notching along the bottom edge and minor roughness; foil pattern intact but not perfect.
  • Surface: Strong gloss and holo pop retained, but likely minor scratches or dimples under magnification (typical for these).

Overall Grok Grade: 8 (Near Mint-Mint)
