Herdier · XY
Back · 8.0 — centering 10.0 · corners 7.0 · edges 7.5 · surface 8.5
Centering is graded on both faces, and the final grade weights the front more heavily.
Centering is the weakest sub-score, so it's the most likely thing to cost this card a grade. How evenly the border frames the art, front and back. PSA publishes a tolerance per grade — it is the one sub-score you can measure yourself before you send.

An estimate from one photo — not a grade, and not affiliated with PSA. Lighting, angle and photo quality all move these numbers, and a grader sees the card in person.

The short version
Herdier looks like an 8.
The card is held back by one thing: centering at 7.0, against surface at 9.0. Fix nothing and it grades where centering allows — but it also means a sharper, straighter-on photo is worth taking, because a single weak reading is the one most likely to be the camera rather than the card.
Worth repeating: this is one photo read by a model, not a grade. Lighting and angle move these numbers, and a grader has the card in hand.

Well off-centre. On its own this will hold the card down regardless of how good the rest looks.
How evenly the border frames the art, front and back. PSA publishes a tolerance per grade — it is the one sub-score you can measure yourself before you send.
Some corner wear is showing — the most common reason a card lands at 8 rather than 9.
Sharpness under magnification. Softening from shuffling or a binder shows here first, and corners cost more grades than anything else.
Some edge whitening is visible. It shows most on dark borders and graders do not overlook it.
Whitening and nicks along the card's edge, most visible on dark borders.
Surface is strong, with nothing obvious beyond the odd faint mark.
Print lines, scratches, dimples and gloss. Holo cards scratch easily and it rarely photographs well.
