Azhul Appraisal

TSR Dark Sun Trading Card - Azhul

This is a vintage collectible trading card featuring the character 'Azhul' from the Dark Sun setting of the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) universe. Produced by TSR, Inc. around 1991-1992, the card is part of a larger set designed to highlight characters, monsters, and artifacts from the savage desert world of Athas. The card features a standard rectangular 2.5 by 3.5-inch format with a glossy finish. The illustration showcases a Mul gladiator (a half-dwarf, half-human hybrid) wearing chitinous or scale-like armor, sporting a sadistic grin and spiked gauntlets, which is highly characteristic of the brutal aesthetic of the Dark Sun setting. The card's design includes a black border, a gold-colored frame around the central artwork, and the 'Dark Sun' logo at the top center. A white circular icon in the bottom right corner features a knight's helmet silhouette, typically denoting the card's classification or rarity within the set. The card appears to be in its original state, housed in a protective plastic sleeve which likely preserved its condition. There are no visible creases or heavy corner wear in the image, though minor surface scuffing common to age may be present on the sleeve itself. The printing quality shows the high-contrast, gritty artistic style synonymous with the early 90s tabletop RPG era.
