Recent Sales

Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy on the right border (back not visible). Minor surface wear visible on the yellow borders and slight whitening may exist on the back corners based on typical wear for this age.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal sentimental value. The cost of grading (approx. $15-$25) significantly outweighs the market value of an uncommon card from this set unless it returns a perfect Gem Mint 10.
Card Description
80 HP. Poke-BODY: Hard Protection - Prevent all damage done to Shelgon by attacks from your Pokemon. Rock Smash: 30+. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage.
Notable Features
Features the 'e' Reader compatibility strip on the bottom and left borders. From the EX series era which introduced the 'Half-Art' style design for non-holos.
Authentication Notes
Card appears authentic. The font styles, energy symbols, and layout match the EX Dragon set specifications perfectly. The rosette pattern visible in the art box is consistent with early 2000s printing techniques.
