Description
Authentic 1st Edition Rhyhorn from the 1999 Pokémon Jungle expansion. Features artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita. Card number 61/64 with the '1st Edition' stamp located on the left-center of the card. A classic common card from the early WOTC era.
Key Features
1st Edition stamp, vintage Wizards of the Coast production, Mitsuhiro Arita artwork, Jungle set symbol (flowers/leaves), high nostalgia factor for Gen 1 collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct font kerning, sharp 1st Edition stamp ink, proper copyright dates (1995, 96, 98, 99), and correct Jungle set icon. Color saturation on the orange 'Fighting' energy icons looks accurate.
Flaws to Note
Minor whitening/chipping on edges (visible on yellow border), potentially minor surface scratches only visible under direct light. Not a 'Gem Mint' candidate but solid for a binder collection.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (using eBay Standard Envelope for cheap shipping), TCGPlayer, or Mercari. Local Facebook Pokémon groups are also excellent for low-value singles.
Selling Tips
Mention 'WOTC' and '1st Edition' in the title. Use a penny sleeve and top loader for protection. Shipping via 'eBay Standard Envelope' ($0.60 - $1.00) is better than a bubble mailer for a card of this value to keep costs down for the buyer.
