Flaws to Note
Significant surface scratching across the plastic lens; softening of all four corners; centering is shifted slightly towards the top; visible edge wear on the orange border.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a 'Buy It Now' with best offer) or Mercari. These often sell better in large lots of 'Action Flipz' rather than as individual singles.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($15+) exceeds the market value. List it as 'Vintage 2000 Topps Pokemon Seaking Action Flip' and use high-resolution photos that show the animation effect.
