Description
This is a Tauros GX Full Art card from the 2017 Sun & Moon Base expansion. The card features a dynamic illustration by 5ban Graphics showing Tauros charging with rocks flying, accented by a distinct diagonal holographic texture pattern across the entire face. It includes the attacks Rage, Horn Attack, and the signature Mad Bull GX move.
Key Features
Full Art Ultra Rare designation; First generation Pokémon; GX mechanic debut set; Textured holofoil surface.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The diagonal line texture and light refraction patterns are consistent with authentic 2017 Sun & Moon GX prints; font and energy symbols match official production standards.
Flaws to Note
Critical damage noted: There is a significant scratch or crease mark across the lower right portion of the card (near the Mad Bull GX text). The card is stored in a binder page without a penny sleeve, likely causing surface micro-scratching. Centering appears slightly heavy on the left border.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, TCGPlayer, or local card shop bulk bins. Due to the condition issues, it is best sold as part of a lot or as a budget binder-filler card on TCGPlayer.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The cost of the grading fee far exceeds the market value of the card, especially with the visible damage. List as 'Moderately Played' (MP) or 'Heavily Played' (HP) due to the surface mark. Use a penny sleeve and top loader for shipping even for low-value cards to maintain what's left of the condition.
