Dragonite Holographic Fossil Appraisal

Pokémon Dragonite Holographic Fossil Set Card (4/62)

This is a vintage 1999 Dragonite trading card from the Fossil expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, produced by Wizards of the Coast. The card features a distinctive holographic foil illustration background behind the artwork of the Pokémon Dragonite, rendered by artist Kagemaru Himeno. The card is printed on standard cardstock with a yellow border and measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches. Key markings include the Stage 2 evolution emblem, the Fossil set symbol (a skeletal hand) to the right of the artwork box, and the numbering '4/62' in the bottom right corner with a star rarity symbol indicating it is a holographic rare card. The copyright text at the bottom confirms years 1995, 96, 98, and 1999. Regarding condition, there is visible edge wear around the yellow border, particularly at the corners and top edge, and some light surface scratching or marks near the bottom text box. The centering appears slightly heavy on the left and bottom margins. This card originates from the early 'Wizards of the Coast' era of the franchise and is a core collectible for vintage Pokémon enthusiasts due to its popularity as a Stage 2 powerful creature.
