Psyduck Pokémon Expedition Base Set Trading Card (Common)

This is a Psyduck trading card from the Pokémon TCG 'Expedition Base Set,' released in 2002. This specific card (65/165) features the unique 'e-Reader' design, characterized by a large yellow border on the left and bottom edges containing Dot Code data meant for scanning with the Nintendo Game Boy Advance e-Reader accessory. The artwork, illustrated by Keiko Fukuyama, depicts a cheerful Psyduck on a swing set against a sunny background. The card is printed on standard cardstock and measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches. It displays the classic Pokémon blue background for the text box with 'Headbutt' and 'Scratch' attacks listed. In terms of condition, based on the photograph, the card is stored in a multi-pocket binder sheet but shows sign of wear. There is visible edge wear (whitening) on the top right corner and along the bottom edges. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the right side. The bottom left 'e' logo is prominent, and the copyright date reads ©2002 Nintendo/Creatures/GAME FREAK. Overall, the card appears to be in 'Lightly Played' condition due to the corner softness and surface scuffing visible through the plastic sleeve.
