Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) / Nintendo · Toys & Games > Collectible Card Games > Pokémon
Era / Decade
Late 1990s (1999) - Identified by the 1995, 96, 98, 99 Nintendo/Wizards copyright string at the bottom.
Material
Standard cardstock with high-gloss finish; specific dimensions are 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The card is sleeved, but visible surface wear and slight silvering on the yellow edges suggest it has been played. There are no major creases visible, but centering is slightly off.
Demand Level
Moderate - Constant demand from set-builders, but extremely high supply makes it a slow seller for high profit as a single unit.
