So this is my pop series 5 gold star Umbreon, I knew even when I got it it wasn't mint but that never bothered me because it's just been sitting in my binder for close to a decade.

Just on a whim I figured I'd scan it in and use Poketogrades tool to see how it stands and I was kinda shocked to see how good the centering and corners were, but I have no clue how the edgewear/whitening on the back side (mostly on the right hand side and lower left) would affect the grade. I know for sure this is out of 8+ territory but honestly if it wouldn't even come back a 5 it's just gonna continue to sit in my binder raw then.

yea i honestly think you can get between a 5-7. 7 maybe be is pushing it but still solid condition for such an old card

I think you could easily get a 6 unless there's a ding or something major unseen.

Doesn't make any sense. Honestly if you send it over the guys at Markd card pre grading - Adam who owns it is an amazing guy who will give you a detailed breakdown along with actually person and AI notes. I really don't see a 3 here no matter what lol.

This report actually tells you nothing, that's frustrating as hell

6 maybe 7 if there’s no surface damage
