Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Damaged (D)
Estimated Market Value
$1.00 - $3.00
Recent Sales
NM/LP copies sell for $40-$80, but damaged copies of this specific card sell for several dollars at most due to the severity of the paper loss.
Condition Details
Significant surface damage including heavy tearing or paper loss on the left side of the text box, severe scuffing, probable water damage, and rounding of corners. The holo surface shows major wear.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading. The card's condition is severely compromised by surface loss and tearing, which would result in a PSA 1 or 'Authentic' designation, costing more than the card is worth.
Card Description
Stage 1 Pokemon (evolves from Vulpix). Miracle Tail: Flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 of your opponent's Pokemon. That Pokemon is now Burned, Confused, and Poisoned. Roasting Heat: 40+ damage. If the Defending Pokemon is Burned, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage. HP 80. Weakness: Water. Resistance: None.
Notable Features
Reverse-holo variant or standard holo (difficult to distinguish in current light, likely standard holo based on set icon); e-Reader Dot Code strip on Left and Bottom borders.
Authentication Notes
The layout, fonts, and e-reader strip format align with 2002 Wizards of the Coast production. However, it is a genuine card in very poor condition.
