Regidrago V Pokemon Card SWSH281

The item is a Regidrago V Pokemon card. It is a standard-sized trading card made from cardstock with a holographic finish on the illustration portion. The card features artwork of the Pokemon Regidrago in a dynamic pose, with surrounding energy effects. The dominant colors in the illustration are red, white, and black, with vibrant holographic streaks that catch the light. The card has typical Pokemon card layout, including the Pokemon's name "Regidrago V" in the upper left corner, its HP "220" in the upper right, and two attack descriptions: "Celestial Roar" and "Dragon Laser". Below the attacks, the card shows weakness, resistance, and retreat cost information. The bottom left features artist credit "PLANETA Nirogi" and a set identifier "F SWSH281". At the bottom center is the V rule text. The card appears to be in good condition with minimal visible wear. The holographic foil is intact and brilliant. There are no obvious creases, tears, or edge wear visible in the image. The card is dated "@2023 Pokemon / Nintendo / Creatures / GAME FREAK" at the very bottom, indicating its production year. This card is from a more recent set due to the V mechanic and the 2023 date stamp, likely from the Sword & Shield era or later.

I have examined the image of the Regidrago V Pokemon card SWSH281. Based on the visual evidence, the card appears to be authentic, exhibiting the correct art, text, set identifier, and copyright information typical of a legitimate Pokemon trading card. The holographic pattern and card finish visible in the image align with production standards for this era. Its condition appears to be very good to excellent, with no obvious creases, tears, or significant edge wear. The holographic foil is bright and intact. This card is a promotional V card (SWSH281), which are generally less valuable than full art, alternate art, or chase cards from main sets. Factors influencing value include its status as a promotional card and the general market demand for this specific Pokemon and card variation. While Regidrago is a popular legendary Pokemon, this particular promotional V artwork typically sees moderate demand compared to other rarities. Comparable sales data for Regidrago V promos in similar condition show a value in the lower range for V cards. My assessment of authenticity is based solely on photographic examination. A full, definitive authentication would require an in-person examination to verify the card's texture, print quality subtleties, weight, and potentially blacklight testing or other scientific analysis. Provenance documentation regarding the card's history and how it was obtained would also add to certainty.
