Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $160 - $190 USD; PSA 10: $350 - $400 USD.
Recent Sales
Recent eBay and TCGPlayer sales show raw NM copies ranging from $165 to $185 depending on centering. PSA 10 copies have recently settled around the high $300s.
Condition Details
Top-to-bottom centering appears slightly bottom-heavy. Edges and corners look sharp in the photo, though a full assessment would require seeing the back. Surface texture is visible and appears consistent with authentic copies.
Grading Recommendation
High recommendation if the back is clean. This is the 'chase card' of Silver Tempest. A grade of 9 or 10 significantly increases marketability and long-term value. Estimated grade: PSA 9/10 based on front-side centering.
Card Description
Basic Pokemon V, HP 220. Attack 1: [C] Read the Wind - Discard a card from your hand. If you do, draw 3 cards. Attack 2: [C][C][C][C] Aero Dive - 130 damage. You may discard a Stadium in play. V Rule: When your Pokemon V is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Notable Features
Features a unique 'Alternate Art' illustration by kawayoo depicting Lugia over a stormy sea. Visible fingerprint-like texture (etching) throughout the card surface which is a key security and aesthetic feature of modern high-rarity Pokemon cards.
Authentication Notes
The presence of fine, detailed etching (texture) across the card face is a primary indicator of authenticity for this specific Lugia V. Font weights and color saturation appear correct for the Silver Tempest print run.
