Description
A vintage 1999 Pokemon Base Set Geodude common card. It features the classic 1st generation Ken Sugimori artwork of Geodude emergingจาก red rock background. This is the Unlimited print run, identified by the lack of a 1st edition stamp and the shadow present on the right edge of the art frame.
Key Features
Wizards of the Coast era card; Iconic 1999 original base set; Nostalgic value for Gen 1 collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct font styles and energy symbols for WotC era; proper color saturation; high confidence of authenticity. Common cards from this era are rarely forged compared to Holos.
Flaws to Note
Significant left-to-right centering horizontal shift (the left yellow border is much thicker); visible edge wear/whitening likely on the reverse from binder storage; possible surface scratching from clear plastic sleeves.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a lot or individual), TCGPlayer, or local card shops in bulk bins.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($15+) exceeds the value. Best sold as part of a complete 102-card base set or in a 'bundle' of original Pokemon cards. Use high-resolution scans if selling individually.
