Description
This is a custom-made metal 'fan art' card featuring the Kanto starters in their Gigantamax forms. It features a gold-toned metallic finish with printed character art. It is not a legitimate release from The Pokemon Company/Nintendo and is intended for novelty or aesthetic display purposes only.
Key Features
Features popular Kanto starters (Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur) in a 'Tag Team' VMAX style; novelty metal construction; high HP and damage values typical of 'custom' power-creep cards.
Authenticity Indicators
CONFIDENCE: HIGH (100% Counterfeit/Custom). Key indicators include the metal material (official cards are paper/cardstock), 'Custom Cards' text on the bottom left, illogical 400 HP, and typos in the move descriptions.
Flaws to Note
Significant surface scratches on the gold plating; dull corners; unofficial font and spacing; text errors (e.g., 'thi Pokemon'); it is a counterfeit of a non-existent design.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Flea markets, local yard sales, or as a 'proxy/custom' lot on eBay/Etsy.
Selling Tips
Do not list this as an 'authentic' or 'official' Pokemon card, as this will lead to account suspension or forced returns. Clearly label as 'Custom' or 'Metal Gold Novelty.' Best sold in a bundle of similar novelty cards.
