Aquapolis Expansion Appraisal

Entei Holofoil Pokémon Card - Aquapolis Expansion (2002)

This is a rare, vintage Pokémon trading card featuring the legendary fire-type Pokémon, Entei. The card is specifically identified as number 10/147 from the Aquapolis set, released in 2002. This particular card is an 'e-Reader' era card, notable for the distinctive wide yellow side and bottom borders containing Dot Code data designed for use with the Nintendo Game Boy Advance e-Reader accessory. The card features a vibrant holofoil finish on the lower body section, reflecting light in a prismatic fashion. The artwork by Shin-ichi Yoshida depicts Entei in a powerful, dynamic pose against a lush, green background. Physically, the card is standard TCG size (approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches) made from layered cardstock with a glossy finish. Notable features include the Poke-BODY 'Pure Body' and the attack 'Burning Fang.' Condition-wise, the image shows visible signs of moderate wear (Light Played to Moderately Played condition). There is significant whitening and chipping along the bottom right and left edges, and the top right corner appears slightly blunted. The surface shows some potential light scratching in the holofoil area, and the centering appears slightly biased toward the top left. The copyright line reads '©2002 Pokémon / Nintendo' and includes the expansion symbol for Aquapolis in the lower right of the character frame.
