What to check before grading Basic Darkness Energy
- Back edges: the dark blue Pokémon back shows whitening first, so check all four back edges under bright light.
- Surface: holo, full art, and illustration rares scratch and scuff easily, and textured surfaces hide marks until you tilt the card under angled light.
- Centering: PSA 10 allows roughly 55/45 to 60/40 on the front and 75/25 on the back.
Measure the borders with the card centering calculator, or read the Pokémon card grading guide.
