Gardevoir & Sylveon GX TAG TEAM Trading Card (Replica)

This item is a trading card featuring the characters Gardevoir and Sylveon from the Pokémon franchise, labeled as a 'TAG TEAM GX' card. Physically, it follows the standard 2.5 x 3.5-inch format of typical trading cards but exhibits suspicious characteristics regarding its material and finish. The surface appears to have an unusual metallic or excessive holographic sheen that is not consistent with authentic cards from the Sun & Moon: Unbroken Bonds set (2019). The artwork depicts the two characters in a dynamic pose with text detailing moves such as 'Fairy Song', 'Kaleidostorm', and 'Magical Miracle GX'. Notable concerning features include the font style and spacing, which appear off-model compared to official Nintendo/Creature/GAME FREAK prints. The card is currently housed in a clear plastic top-loader, which protects it from physical wear, but the overall printing quality suggests it is a third-party replica or 'fake' card rather than a genuine collectible. The dark, muddy resolution of the text and lack of textural etching (standard on high-rarity GX cards) further support this classification. While it mimics a late-2010s style, the craftsmanship lacks the crispness and specific security features of genuine Pokémon TCG products.
