Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
$15.00 - $30.00 (Raw); $60.00 - $100.00 (PSA 9), $250.00+ (PSA 10)
Recent Sales
Raw copies in NM condition typically sell for $20-$25. Recent PSA 9 sales have fluctuated around $75-$90.
Condition Details
The centering appears slightly heavy on the right border. Surface looks clean through the sleeve, with crisp corners. Minor silvering or light white spotsかもしれない on the front edges common for this set, but overall very well preserved.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if the back is flawless and it could hit a PSA 9 or 10. As a non-holographic rare, the value jump for lower grades (PSA 8 and below) often doesn't justify the grading fees.
Card Description
Hydrocannon: Does 30 damage plus 20 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Dark Blastoise but not used to pay for this attack. You can't add more than 40 damage in this way. Rocket Tackle: Dark Blastoise does 10 damage to itself. Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all damage done to Dark Blastoise during your opponent's next turn.
Notable Features
Non-holographic version; features the iconic 'Team Rocket' R symbol on the right middle area.
Authentication Notes
Font styling (HP and attacks), copyright dates (1995, 96, 98 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK. ©1999-2000 Wizards), and the characteristic blue saturation of the Team Rocket set all appear consistent with authentic production.
