Meowth Pokemon Card Jungle Set 5664 Unlimited Edition Gold Border Variation Appraisal

Meowth Pokémon Card - Jungle Set 56/64 (Unlimited Edition Gold Border Variation)

This is a vintage Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) item featuring the 'Basic Pokémon' Meowth, identified by the Jungle set expansion symbol (a flower) on the right side of the card. The central artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita depicts Meowth sitting atop a pile of gold coins. This specific card is a common unlimited print, noted by the absence of a first-edition stamp and the presence of card number 56/64. Notably, this specimen is the gold-bordered variant often associated with Fruit Roll-Ups or other promotional distributions from around 1999. The card is in poor condition, displaying significant structural and surface damage. Extensive whitening and delamination are visible along the gold-foiled edges, particularly at the corners and the top-right margin. There is heavy horizontal creasing across the left-hand side and multiple surface scratches across the main art box. The card exhibits soft corners, possible water warping, and significant grime buildup. Despite the high nostalgic value of late 90s Wizards of the Coast prints, the severe wear negatively impacts its potential grade and collector value. The backing appears to be a standard blue Pokémon card back, though obscured by the rest of the stack.
