Bandai Card Game Appraisal

2000 Bandai Digimon Digi-Battle Trading Card - Tsukaimon (ST-31)

This is a vintage trading card from the Digimon Digi-Battle Card Game, specifically representing the character 'Tsukaimon' at the Rookie Level. Manufactured by Bandai in 2000, the card is made of standard cardstock with a glossy finish. It features a distinctive blue border with a digital 'grid' pattern aesthetic characteristic of early 2000s anime merchandise. The central artwork depicts Tsukaimon, a purple and white mammal-like creature with bat-like ears. Functional text on the card includes stats like '170 Defend', '240 Slamming Attack', and '360 Purple Fog', alongside the 'Virus' type and 'Fly' special ability. Legal text at the bottom credits Akiyoshi Hongo, Toei Animation, and Bandai 2000. Regarding condition, the card shows significant signs of play and wear; there is noticeable whitening and chipping along the edges, particularly on the top and bottom left corners. The surface appears to have minor scuffing, and the corners are softened rather than sharp, indicating it has not been kept in a protective sleeve for its entire lifespan. Collectors would categorize this as being in 'played' or 'Fair to Good' condition.
