Era / Decade
2023 (Crown Zenith expansion, Sword & Shield Series)
Material
Cardstock with holographic foil layering and textured finish.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The card surface appears clean, but there is noticeable edge wear/whitening visible on the bottom edge and corners. Centering appears slightly off-top-to-bottom.
Demand Level
Moderate. Crown Zenith is a highly popular set among collectors, but this specific card is a standard Ultra Rare rather than a rare 'Galarian Gallery' variant, making it fairly common.

Estimated Resale Value
Low: $1.00 | Mid: $2.50 | High: $4.50 (Values fluctuate based on competitive play relevance)
Estimated Retail Value
$4.00 - $5.00 (Current cost of a sealed booster pack from this series)
Comparable Sales
Recent sales on TCGplayer and eBay 'Sold' listings show this card typically selling for between $1.50 and $3.00 for Near Mint copies. Heavily played or edged-damaged copies often sell for under $1.00.
Description
This is a Duraludon VMAX ultra rare card from the Crown Zenith expansion (Set Number 104/159). It features the Gigantamax form of Duraludon with the 'Skyscraper' ability and 'G-Max Pulverization' attack. The card has a distinctive textured foil finish common to VMAX rarities.
Key Features
High HP (330), popular VMAX mechanic, colorful full-art style illustration by PLANETA Mochizuki, and 'Single Strike' battle style designation.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The font styles, 'E' regulation mark, copyright information (2023), and specific holographic sheen patterns match genuine English Pokémon prints. The texture grain is visible on the surface.
Flaws to Note
Visible whitening and small nicks along the bottom black border edge. Surface scratches may be present but are hard to see under this lighting. Card is not currently sleeved, which risks further damage.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
TCGplayer (best for market pricing), eBay (best for bulk or high-quality photos), or Mercari. Local card shops may buy it for 50% of market value in store credit.
Selling Tips
Place the card in a soft 'penny sleeve' and then a rigid 'top loader' immediately to prevent further edge wear. When listing, use keywords like 'Crown Zenith', 'VMAX', and 'Ultra Rare'. For cards under $5, it is often better to bundle them with other cards to save on shipping costs.
