Pokemon Tcg Blaines Charmander Gym Challenge 60132 Appraisal

Pokémon TCG: Blaine's Charmander (Gym Challenge 60/132)

This is an original 'Blaine's Charmander' trading card from the Pokémon Gym Challenge set, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2000. This specific card is an Unlimited Edition common card, identified by card number 60/132. The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, depicting the Fire-type Pokémon Charmander in a characteristic landscape corresponding to the Gym Leader Blaine. Structurally, the card is constructed from standard layered cardstock with rounded corners. The card is currently housed in a blue protective plastic deck sleeve. Regarding condition, the card exhibits significant damage that impacts its collectible value. Notable issues include a severe crease and bend across the upper-left corner of the card's yellow border, which has broken the surface of the cardstock. There is visible edge wear (whitening) along the yellow margins and surface scuffing on the bottom border. The centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom-left. The card's copyright line reads '©1995, 96, 98 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK. ©1999-2000 Wizards.' Given the visible physical trauma to the top corner, the card would likely receive a 'Poor' or 'Damaged' grade from professional authentication services like PSA or CGC.
