Pokémon TCG Tyrogue First Edition 66/75 Neo Discovery

This is a 1st Edition Tyrogue Pokémon trading card from the Neo Discovery set, officially released in 2001. The card features a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch dimensions on cardstock with a yellow border characteristic of Wizard of the Coast era prints. The artwork by Miki Tanaka depicts the 'Baby Pokémon' Tyrogue in a playful, cartoonish style against a green, black, and yellow background with confetti. Key markings include the small '1st Edition' black circle logo on the left side, the Neo Discovery symbol (a stylized temple or gate) on the right below the artwork, and the numbering 66/75 in the bottom right corner. The card indicates a 30 HP status with a single 'Smash Punch' attack. Regarding condition, the card exhibits significant wear typical of played specimens. Notable issues include white chipping and scuffing along all four yellow edges, blunting of the corners, and visible surface dirt or light staining on the lower textual area. There is a lack of professional grading, and the centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom left. The copyright line at the bottom confirms the 1995-2001 publishing window.
