Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Lightly Played (LP)
Estimated Market Value
$1.50 - $4.00 (Raw); $30.00 - $45.00 (PSA 9)
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for approximately $2.00 to $3.50 on TCGPlayer. PSA 10 gem mint copies have reached $80+, while LP/NM raw copies remain very affordable.
Condition Details
Image shows noticeable top-heavy centering with thicker bottom borders. Visible silvering/faint whitening on the bottom right corner and edges. Surface appears to have standard micro-scratching typical of full-card reverse holofoil patterns.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The centering is poor (bottom-heavy), and the card is a modern reprint of the Base Set artwork. Only PSA 10 grades provide significant ROI for this specific set's reverse holos.
Card Description
Stage 1 - Evolves from Magikarp. HP 130. Bubble Beam (3 Water Energy): 50 damage - Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokemon is now Paralyzed. Dragon Rage (4 Water Energy): 180 damage - Flip 2 coins. If either of them is tails, this attack does nothing.
Notable Features
Features the 'Reverse Holofoil' pattern where the entire card face is shiny except for the character illustration window. This set (Evolutions) is a 20th Anniversary tribute set that mimics the 1999 Base Set design.
Authentication Notes
Authentic. The font, energy symbols, and specific reverse holo sheen are consistent with 2016 XY Evolutions printing standards. No signs of common proximity-print fakes.
