Mismagius Gl Magireve Gl Lv26 Rising Rivals French Reverse Holo Appraisal

Mismagius GL (Magirêve GL) LV.26 - Rising Rivals (French Reverse Holo)

This is a French-language Pokémon trading card featuring 'Magirêve GL' (Mismagius GL), level 26, from the Rising Rivals expansion (known as 'Rivaux Émergeants' in French), released circa 2009. The card is a Pokémon SP (Special Pokémon), belonging to Gym Leader Fantina, whose portrait is visible on the right side of the card. It features a reverse holographic (reverse holo) foil finish that covers the bottom text box and the border while leaving the main artwork non-foil. The card's design includes a purple color palette corresponding to the Psychic type, with an HP of 80. The illustrated character, Mismagius, is depicted in a purple and pink wizard-like form within a gothic arches background, credited to illustrator Naoyo Kimura. The card identifies its rarity with a 'star' symbol at the bottom right and the set number 10/111. Physically, the card shows significant wear and authenticity concerns. Notable issues include heavy surface scratches on the foil, substantial edge wear (whitening) on the borders, and rounded, worn corners. Furthermore, the font, unusual rainbow-gradient foil pattern, and color saturation suggest this may be an unlicensed replication or counterfeit, which is common with cards of this era. The card measures approximately 63mm by 88mm and is printed on standard cardstock, though the texture appears slightly off compared to official Nintendo/Pokémon Company standards.
