Weasel Familiar Appraisal

1992 Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition Trading Card: Weasel Familiar

This is an original trading card from the 1992 Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition series, specifically Card #505 featuring the 'Weasel Familiar'. The card measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed from standard cardstock with a glossy finish on the face. The artwork depicts a realistic brown weasel in the foreground, with the lower legs of a robed character in sandals visible in the background, standing amidst green foliage. The card features a black border with the iconic blue and white AD&D 2nd Edition logo at the top and the item title 'Weasel Familiar' at the bottom. A circular metallic-gold dragon logo is located in the bottom right corner of the art frame. The artist's signature 'H' is visible on the center-right side of the artwork. Regarding condition, the card appears to be housed in a protective plastic sleeve, which has preserved the integrity of the corners and edges. There is no visible creasing, surface scratching, or fading evident in the image, suggesting a Very Good to Near Mint state. This card belongs to the premier set of AD&D trading cards produced by TSR, Inc. in the early 1990s, a period characterized by high-quality fantasy illustration intended to bridge the gap between tabletop gaming and the booming sports card market.
