Origin Forme Dialga V Pokémon Card (113/189) Appraisal
Category: Trading Card
Description
The item is a single trading card featuring the Pokémon Origin Forme Dialga V. The card displays a large illustration of the Pokémon in shades of blue and grey with glowing blue accents, set against a background with a teal and magenta abstract pattern. The card is oriented vertically and has a standard border. Visible text includes "Origin Forme Dialga V" at the top center, followed by "220" attack points to the right. Below the illustration are the attack names "Metal Coating" and "Temporal Rupture," along with their corresponding details. The bottom of the card includes information such as weakness to fighting-type Pokémon (-30 resistance to psychic-type), retreat cost, V rule, and card number "113/189". The card appears to be in a protective plastic sleeve, which shows some surface wear or scratches. The edges and corners of the card within the sleeve appear relatively sharp, though it is difficult to assess the true condition of the card itself due to the sleeve. The printing seems clear and vibrant, suggesting a relatively modern production. There are no immediately visible manufacturing defects or major condition issues such as bends or creases, but these could be obscured by the sleeve. The card is part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Appraisal Report
I have examined the provided image of the Origin Forme Dialga V Pokémon Card (113/189). Based on visual assessment, the card appears to be authentic and in potentially excellent condition, housed within a protective sleeve. The illustration is vibrant, and the visible text and details are clear. The edges and corners visible through the sleeve seem sharp, suggesting a high grade, though the sleeve obscures a definitive condition assessment. Surface wear on the sleeve itself is noted. This card is a Full Art V card from the Sword & Shield-Astral Radiance set, which typically sees moderate to high demand, especially for popular Pokémon like Dialga. Market conditions for modern Pokémon cards can fluctuate, but V cards generally hold stable value, appreciating in higher grades. Production numbers for cards in this set are considerable, so it's not considered rare in lower grades. The key factor impacting value here is the likely condition of the card under the sleeve. If the card is truly near-mint to mint, its value will be at the higher end of the range. Without an in-person examination, I cannot definitively verify the absence of surface scratches, print lines, or corner/edge wear hidden by the sleeve. Full authentication would require physical inspection, and for potentially high-value cards, third-party professional grading is recommended.
