Mega Gengar Appraisal

Mega Gengar EX (220 HP) Pokémon Trading Card

The item is a Mega Gengar EX Pokémon trading card, likely from the XY BREAKthrough or a similar set, given its design and the 'Mega Evolution rule' text. The card features Mega Gengar, a powerful Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon, prominently in the artwork. The dominant colors in the artwork are shades of purple, dark grey, and yellow/gold for Gengar itself, with a background featuring vibrant pink, blue, and yellow energy-like effects, creating a dynamic and somewhat eerie aesthetic. The card displays a high HP of 220 in the top right corner. The name "MGengar" is clearly visible in the top left, preceded by 'MEGA'. Below the artwork, the card indicates a 'Mega Evolution rule' which states: 'When 1 of your Pokémon becomes a Mega Evolution Pokémon, your turn ends.' The card features an attack called 'Phantom Gate', requiring two Psychic (purple circle with a star) and two Colorless (white circle with a star) energy, and its effect is 'Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon's attacks and use it as this attack.' The overall design is typical of Full Art or secret rare Pokémon EX cards, characterized by extending artwork across the entire card face, holographic or textured finishes (though difficult to confirm definitively from the image), and a slightly glossy appearance. The card appears to be in good, possibly near-mint to lightly played condition, with no immediately obvious creases, tears, or heavy edge wear visible in the provided image. The edges appear relatively sharp, and the surface reflects light evenly. The text is crisp and legible, indicating good print quality. The card is held between fingers, suggesting it is of standard trading card size, approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches. Its vivid colors and full-art nature are typical of higher rarity cards in the Pokémon TCG, making it desirable for collectors and players.
