Chilling Reign Gastly Appraisal

Gastly - Pokémon Trading Card (Scarlet & Violet: Chilling Reign)

This is a Gastly 'Basic' Pokémon trading card, numbered 064/196 from a modern expansion set, likely originating from the 2023 'Scarlet & Violet' era. The card features a vibrant purple color palette consistent with the Psychic-type categorization. The central artwork by Tika Matsuno depicts a smiling Gastly surrounded by purple gas, floating over a background that includes toy train tracks and stylized blocks. Physically, the card is standard size (approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches) printed on layered cardstock with rounded corners and a distinctive yellow border. Notable markings include the 'HP 40' stat, the Psychic energy symbol, and the 'Furtive Drop' attack description. Fine print at the bottom credits Nintendo/Creatures/GAME FREAK and the year 2023. Regarding condition, the card appears to be in near-mint to light-played state based on this image; the edges look relatively crisp with no obvious whitening or 'silvering' along the yellow borders, though local glare from lighting makes a full surface assessment difficult. There are no visible creases, tears, or heavy surface scratches. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and bottom margins.
