Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Moderately Played (MP) to Heavily Played (HP)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $25 (due to poor condition); PSA 10 Value: ~$200 - $250 (not achievable here).
Recent Sales
Near Mint raw copies typically sell for $50-$70. Moderately played copies often drop below $30, with heavily damaged copies selling closer to $15.
Condition Details
Extensive surface wear is visible, including heavy scratches, potential scuffing, and significant edge whitening. The card appears to have been stored without a sleeve, leading to a loss of texture clarity and surface integrity.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The visible surface damage and corner wear would result in a very low grade (likely PSA 3-5), making the grading fee higher than the value added.
Card Description
HP 260. Tandem Shock: 80+ damage. If this Pokémon was on the Bench and became your Active Pokémon this turn, this attack does 80 more damage and your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Lightning Ride-GX: 150+ damage. Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. If this Pokémon has 2 extra Lightning Energy attached, this attack does 100 more damage.
Notable Features
Features the 'Rainbow Rare' Sun & Moon era holo pattern with textured fingerprint-like ridges and a Hyper Rare rainbow coloration.
Authentication Notes
The font, layout, and set numbering appear consistent with an authentic Sun & Moon era Secret Rare. However, the lack of visible texture in the photo and the odd color saturation raise minor concerns; physical verification of the 'etched' texture is required to confirm it is not a smooth-surface counterfeit.
