Description
2016 Pokemon XY Evolutions Charmander. This card features the iconic Mitsuhiro Arita artwork from the original 1999 Base Set. Designed as a 20th-anniversary tribute, it recreates the nostalgic look of the vintage cards but with updated 2016 copyright dates and modern HP/Attack stats.
Key Features
Features original 1999 Base Set artwork; part of the highly popular 20th Anniversary XY Evolutions set; high demand for nostalgic Charmander/Charizard line cards.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The font kerning, copyright date (2016), and saturation of the fire energy symbols match authentic XY Evolutions print runs. Not a common target for high-end counterfeiting compared to the 1999 1st Edition version.
Flaws to Note
Significant centering issues with a very thick bottom border and thin top border. Visible edge wear/whitening on the yellow borders. Potential surface scratching from being stored unsleeved.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a PWE/Envelope listing), TCGPlayer, or local card shop bulk bins.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this specific copy as the centering and edge wear will prevent a high grade; the cost of grading ($15+) far exceeds the raw value ($1). Sell as part of a lot of Evolutions cards to maximize shipping efficiency.
