Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM) to Lightly Played (LP)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $500 - $900; PSA 8: $1,200 - $1,500; PSA 9: $3,000 - $4,500; PSA 10: $35,000+
Recent Sales
1st Edition Lugia values are volatile; PSA 9 copies have recently sold between $3,800 - $4,200. Ungraded NM copies consistently fetch over $700 in auction.
Condition Details
Assuming top-loader storage, the card looks extremely clean. Centering appears slightly heavy on the left and bottom (obverse view). No major creases visible; light surface scuffs or minor corner whitening are possible upon micro-inspection, but currently appears high-grade.
Grading Recommendation
Highly Recommended for grading (PSA or BGS). This is the 'holy grail' of the Neo era. The difference between a raw copy and a PSA 9 or 10 is thousands of dollars.
Card Description
HP 90. Elemental Blast (Fire, Water, Lightning energy): Discard a Fire energy card, a Water energy card, and a Lightning energy card attached to Lugia in order to use this attack. Damage: 90.
Notable Features
1st Edition stamp on the left side. Holofoil pattern features 'Cosmos' style orbs. Includes his signature attack 'Elemental Blast'.
Authentication Notes
The 1st edition stamp looks correctly positioned and uses the proper font weight. The 'E' in 'Edition' aligns correctly with the border. The color saturation of the Lugia art matches authentic Neo Genesis print runs.
