Dark Charmeleon Team Rocket 3282 Appraisal

Dark Charmeleon - Team Rocket Set (32/82) - Non-Holo

This is a vintage Pokémon Trading Card Game card featuring 'Dark Charmeleon', released as part of the Team Rocket expansion set in the year 2000. The card follows the standard 2.5 by 3.5-inch format on cardstock with a matte finish. It features the iconic Team Rocket 'R' logo on the mid-right side, signifying its set origin. The artwork by Kagemaru Himeno depicts Charmeleon in a dynamic, aggressive pose surrounded by flames, characteristic of the 'Dark' Pokémon aesthetic which identifies creatures with a more ferocious temperament. The card is a non-holographic Rare, numbered 32/82. In terms of condition, the card shows significant visible wear. There is noticeable 'whitening' and chipping along the top and side yellow borders, particularly on the top edge and corners. Numerous surface scuffs, scratches, and build-ups of grime or 'play wear' are visible across the face of the card, especially in the bottom text box and the upper yellow border. These imperfections suggest the card was kept in an unprotected state and frequently handled or played without sleeves. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the bottom and right sides. There is no visible 1st Edition stamp, identifying this as an Unlimited print run piece.
