Mega Diancie Card Appraisal

Custom Pikachu Mega Diancie 'Tag Cosplay' Metal Trading Card

This is a non-official, third-party custom-made trading card featuring a 'Pikachu Mega Diancie' design. Unlike standard official Pokemon cards made of cardstock, this item is crafted from a rigid, black-coated metal or metallic plastic, approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches in size. The card features a textured, matte black background with etched or printed gold and color graphics. The central artwork depicts Pikachu winking while dressed in a costume resembling the Pokemon Mega Diancie, characterized by pink crystalline structures and a large pink head jewel. Notable text includes 'HP 700' and 'TAG COSPLAY' in stylized gold font. A crucial detail is found at the bottom, which explicitly states 'Only FAN ART card, Don't be used in TCG game,' identifying it as a novelty 'proxy' or fan-made collectible rather than a licensed product by Nintendo, Creatures, or GAME FREAK. Condition-wise, the card shows significant wear along the upper right edge and top margin, where the black finish has chipped away to reveal the underlying silver-toned metal. There are also visible surface scuffs and minor fingerprinting on the matte finish, indicating it has been handled without a protective sleeve.
