Condition Details
Card appears highly preserved. Centering looks slightly heavy on the left and bottom; no visible edge whitening or surface scratches detected from this image, though light scratches are common for this foil type.
Grading Recommendation
Highly recommended for professional grading (PSA or BGS). The 'Shadowless' variant is extremely sought after; a high grade (8-10) would exponentially increase its market value compared to raw state.
Card Description
HP 100. Pokémon Power: Energy Trans - As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may take 1 Grass Energy attached to 1 of your Pokémon and attach it to a different one. This power can't be used if Venusaur is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. Attack: Solarbeam (60 damage).
Notable Features
Shadowless variant (lacks the drop shadow behind the art frame), thinner HP font, and '1995, 96, 98, 99 Nintendo' copyright date line. Includes 'Star' pattern Holofoil.
Authentication Notes
Font styling for '100 HP' and the specific copyright year sequence (ending in 99) are consistent with authentic shadowless print runs. The star-field holo pattern is characteristic of WotC era base set cards.
