Description
A single Cram-o-matic Trainer card from the Fusion Strike expansion (set number 229/264). This is a 'Uncommon' rarity card evidenced by the diamond symbol. It is a highly functional card in the competitive metagame, allowing players to search their deck after discarding another item and winning a coin flip.
Key Features
High playability in the competitive TCG circuit; essential for 'Mew VMAX' and other engine-heavy decks; 2021 Sword & Shield era printing.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct font kerning, sharp printing of the 'E' regulation mark, copyright dates (2021), and proper cardstock texture. Artwork is correctly attributed to Ryo Ueda.
Flaws to Note
No visible flaws. There is no holographic foil, which limits value to players rather than high-end collectors. Minor surface scratches may exist but are hidden by the sleeve.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
TCGPlayer (Best for cards), eBay (Best for bundles), or Mercari. Local game stores (LGS) will buy for 'bulk' prices or 50% market trade-in.
Selling Tips
Do not sell this single card alone as shipping will exceed its value. Bundle it into a 'Playset' of four cards to increase the price to $2.00-$4.00, making it worth the postage. Use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for cheap tracked shipping.
