Lapras 1062 Appraisal

Pokemon Fossil Set Holographic Lapras (10/62)

This is a vintage holographic Lapras Pokemon trading card from the Fossil expansion set, released by Wizards of the Coast circa 1999. The card features a standard rectangular format with rounded corners, constructed from layered cardstock. It displays a vibrant yellow border surrounding a blue 'Water-type' layout. The central artwork by Ken Sugimori depicts Lapras in its natural aquatic environment, rendered with a distinctive 'starlight' holofoil finish that reflects light in a speckled pattern. Notable markings include the black skeletal hand symbol to the right of the artwork, identifying it as part of the Fossil set, and the number '10/62' at the bottom right corner, signifying its holofoil rarity. The card lists '80 HP' and features the attacks 'Water Gun' and 'Confuse Ray'. Regarding condition, the card shows significant wear including visible edge whitening along the yellow borders and localized silvering/peeling on the bottom right edge. The holographic surface appears to have light scratching and dulling consistent with an unpreserved raw state. There are no obvious creases, but the surface integrity is compromised by play wear, placing it in a light-to-moderate play condition category rather than mint.
