Grovyle Pokemon Trading Card Ex Ruby And Sapphire 31109 Appraisal

Grovyle Pokémon Trading Card - EX Ruby & Sapphire (31/109)

This is an authentic Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) card featuring the Stage 1 Grass-type Pokémon, Grovyle. The card is a regular rare from the EX Ruby & Sapphire expansion set, released in 2003. It measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed from standard layered cardstock with a glossy finish on the face. The artwork, illustrated by Ken Sugimori, depicts Grovyle amidst a forest background. Notable features include the card's low-body text describing the 'Natural Cure' Poké-BODY and the 'Slash' attack for a damage value of 20. The bottom left corner features the 'e' logo, identifying it as part of the Nintendo e-Reader era of cards. Regarding condition, the card is stored within a plastic binder sleeve which has protected the surface from major scratching and grime; however, noticeable edge wear and light whitening are visible along the top right yellow border. There appears to be a minor speck or staining on the right edge near the 80 HP marker. The centering seems slightly shifted toward the bottom left. The copyright line at the bottom indicates 2003 Pokemon/Nintendo manufacturing details. The card’s value is influenced by its status as an early Nintendo-era card, though its condition appears to be 'Lightly Played' rather than mint.
