Hi, I am a new member, 2004 Jetta TDI camshaft wear?

I have a 2004 Jetta, BEW, manual, 135K miles. I am inspecting my camshaft. I see the posted pictures of camshafts, but I can not judge if the camshaft is good or not on my car.
Thanks to all who make this an informative site.

I thought all the edges felt the same. The bevels all looked similar. I don't have enough exprience to know the difference between a good one and bad one.
I tried taking a picture, but the resolution was not very good.

I am now able to rotate the crank and I have a better view of the cam closest to the timing belt. The loss of the bevel on the lobe is obvious.

I did the TB at 100K and I have alignment tool. Is the other tool the cam sprocket puller?
