Recent Sales
These non-authentic gold metal cards typically sell as novelty items on sites like Etsy or AliExpress for a few dollars.
Condition Details
The card appears to be a metal novelty or counterfeit item. It shows rough edges, poor texture quality compared to authentic gold rares, and slightly blurred text.
Grading Recommendation
Do not grade. Professional grading companies (PSA, BGS, CGC) do not authenticate or grade unofficial metal fan-made cards.
Card Description
Flaming Breath (20): Search your deck for a Fire Energy card and attach it to this Pokemon. Scorching Column (120): Your opponent's Active Pokemon is now Burned.
Notable Features
This is a full-metal 'gold' card. It mimics the artwork of the Flareon V SWSH179 promo but lacks the official etched texture and legal copyright formatting found on genuine Pokemon TCG products.
Authentication Notes
COUNTERFEIT/NON-OFFICIAL. Authentic Pokemon 'Gold' cards are made of cardstock with intricate etching; they are not solid gold-colored metal. The font, energy symbols, and material are all indicators that this is a 3rd party novelty item.
