Pokemon Leafeon Vmax Alt Art Chinese Simplified Edition Appraisal

Pokemon Leafeon VMAX Alt Art (Chinese Simplified Edition)

This is a VMAX-rarity Pokémon trading card featuring the character Leafeon in its 'Alternate Art' or 'Special Art' form. The card is printed in Simplified Chinese, identifiable by the characters for Leafeon (叶伊布) at the top. The physical card features a standard 2.5 by 3.5-inch rectangular shape with rounded corners. The artwork is vibrant, showcasing Leafeon in a Gigantamax form with stylized red clouds circling its long ears, set against a dynamic, colorful background with diagonal light-ray texturing known as 'etching' or 'texture' in the hobby. The card has a high-sheen holographic foil finish. Notable markings include the 'VMAX' label, a 310 HP stat, and the Grass-type symbol. From an appraisal standpoint, the centering appears relatively stable from the front, though there is a bright glare across the center that obscures some fine details of the surface condition. The corners seem sharp from this angle, but a full evaluation of the edges and back would be necessary to identify whitening or play wear. This specific artwork originates from the Evolving Skies (English) or Eevee Heroes (Japanese) equivalent sets, released circa 2021-2023. The high-quality texture and layered holographic effect are primary quality indicators of authentic modern high-rarity cards.
