Pokecard Appraisal

Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Collection

This is a collection of at least seven various Japanese language Pokémon trading cards. Each card is enclosed within a clear plastic sleeve or top loader to provide protection. The cards feature different Pokémon characters, attacks, and hit point values, with numerical and Japanese text indicating strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. Some of the visible cards include a Vulpix (ロコン), Electrode (マルマイン), Beedrill (スピアー), Psyduck (コダック), and an Arbok (アーボ). At least two of the cards, the Electrode and the Beedrill, display a holographic or foil effect in the artwork section, characterized by a sparkling or shimmering appearance when light reflects off the surface. The other cards appear to have standard matte or glossy finishes. Visible condition is difficult to fully assess due to the protective sleeves, but they appear to be in generally good condition from what is observable. The edges and corners cannot be clearly seen. There are no visible major creases, tears, or surface damage discernible through the plastic. The artwork and text appear vibrant and clear. The cards are likely from various sets released prior to the photographic date, given the mix of characters and designs.
