Espeon Neo Discovery Appraisal

Espeon Holographic Pokémon Card (Neo Discovery Set - 1/75)

This is a vintage Espeon holographic trading card from the Pokémon Neo Discovery expansion set, originally released in 2001. The card is a Stage 1 Psychic-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring the artwork of Atsuko Nishida. The central illustration depicts the character Espeon against a shimmering holographic background with swirling teal and light green hues. The card's layout includes the 'Neo Discovery' set symbol (a mountain/sunrise icon) located just below the bottom right of the art frame. Key gameplay text includes the 'Bite' (20 damage) and 'Psychic' (30+ damage) attacks. The manufacturing information at the bottom edge indicates a copyright date of 1995-2001 by Nintendo, Creatures, and GAMEFREAK, with the card number identified as 1/75. In terms of physical condition, the card appears to be in relatively good state but shows signs of handling; visible minor whitening or edge wear is present on the yellow border, particularly along the bottom right and top-left corners. The centering looks slightly offset to the left. The holographic foil shows a clear, bright luster without significant surface scratching visible in this lighting. There are no obvious creases or heavy bends, though professional grading would be required for a definitive condition assessment.
