Pokemon Mewtwo Strikes Back Topps Movie Trading Card The Temple Of Mewtwo 99 Appraisal

Pokemon Mewtwo Strikes Back Topps Movie Trading Card - The Temple of Mewtwo #99

This is a vintage Topps Pokemon movie trading card titled 'The Temple of Mewtwo', referenced as card number 99 in the series based on the first feature film 'Mewtwo Strikes Back'. The card features a landscape horizontal orientation with a dark, atmospheric illustration of New Island and Mewtwo's fortress shrouded in purple and dark blue clouds. A significant vertical holographic rainbow strip runs along the left edge, containing the 'Mewtwo Strikes Back' logo, the text 'THE TEMPLE OF MEWTWO', and the card number '99'. The official Pokemon logo ('Gotta catch 'em all!') is positioned in the bottom right corner. Regarding condition, the card shows significant play wear and damage likely from poor storage. There is heavy edge wear and corner fraying, particularly at the top left and bottom right. Visible surface scuffing and white speckling (likely debris or surface loss) is present across the dark central image. The card is made of standard laminated cardstock and was manufactured by Topps in 1999 as part of the promotional wave for the film's international release.
