Pokemon Raichu 41147 Burning Shadows Appraisal

Raichu Pokémon Trading Card - Sun & Moon Burning Shadows #41/147

This is a standard-sized Raichu Stage 1 Pokémon Trading Card from the Sun & Moon: Burning Shadows expansion set, originally released in 2017. The card features a vibrant yellow border and a 110 HP stat. The artwork, illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, depicts Raichu in a dynamic confrontation with Croagunk, rendered with electric blue and yellow energy effects against a dark background. Key technical details include the 'Evoshock' Ability and the 'Volt Tackle' attack, which deals 130 damage. The card is numbered 41/147 with a black star rarity symbol in the bottom left corner next to the copyright year. All text is crisp and the colors appear saturated. Regarding condition, the card is housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve which obscures a direct view of surface scratches, but the centering appears relatively balanced with slight top-to-bottom skew. The corners and edges visible through the sleeve appear sharp without significant whitening or fraying, suggesting a card that has been well-maintained for collection purposes.
