Charizard 06 Appraisal

1999 Topps Pokémon TV Animation Edition Series 1 Charizard Card #06

This item is a vintage 1999 Pokémon trading card produced by Topps. It features the iconic fire-type Pokémon Charizard, labeled with both its National Pokédex number '#06' and its name in a vibrant, stylized font. The card is part of the TV Animation Edition, specifically indicating Series 1, and bears the distinctive 'PC3' designation in the lower right corner. The artwork portrays Charizard breathing fire against a dynamic red and orange background, which is framed by a decorative yellow textured border. Made of standard cardstock with a glossy finish, the card includes several logos at the bottom: the Nintendo Official Seal, the Topps logo, and copyright credits dating back to 1995, 1996, and 1998 for Nintendo, Creatures, and Game Freak. Regarding condition, several issues are evident: the corners show significant whitening and softening, particularly at the top left and bottom right. There is visible edge wear along the right side, and what appears to be surface scuffing or debris near the bottom left margin. The overall centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom. Despite these condition flaws, the print quality remains relatively vibrant, representing a significant piece of Poke-mania history from the late 1990s.
