Lumineon V (Basic) Pokémon Trading Card Appraisal
Category: Trading Card
Description
The item is a standard-sized trading card featuring the Pokémon character Lumineon V. The card has a glossy finish and appears to be made from layered cardstock or similar material used for trading cards. The artwork on the card depicts Lumineon with a translucent or watery effect around it, suggesting a dynamic, aquatic setting. The background is a mix of blues and greens, indicative of water and perhaps the sky above. The text at the top left clearly labels it as "BASIC Lumineon V" and indicates an HP of 170. Below the character artwork, there is text describing abilities and attacks. One is labeled "Ability Luminous Sign" and the other is "Aqua Return" with an attack value of 120. The energy costs for the attacks are also visible, denoted by symbols. The card has standard trading card borders with a darker border defining the edge of the artwork and text boxes. At the bottom of the card, further information such as rarity symbols and set information may be present, but these are not clearly visible in the provided image. The condition appears good with no obvious creases or significant wear visible from this image, although a full front and back inspection would be required for a definitive assessment. The colors are vibrant, and the printing appears sharp. This is likely a card from a contemporary Pokémon Trading Card Game set.
Appraisal Report
Based on my visual examination of the provided image, this is a Lumineon V (Basic) card, likely from the Pokémon Sword & Shield—Brilliant Stars set (card number 040/172). From the image, the card appears to be in Near Mint to Mint condition. I observed no visible creases, edge wear, or surface scratches. The centering appears reasonably good, and the colors are vibrant, consistent with authentic Pokémon TCG products. The key factor for this card's value is its playability in the current competitive meta. The "Luminous Sign" ability is highly sought after, allowing players to search their deck for a Supporter card, making it a staple in many top-tier decks. Consequently, there is consistent demand from players. Market comparables on major TCG platforms show recent sales for a non-foil, standard version of this card clustering in the $2 to $5 range. Higher-value full-art or rainbow rare versions of Lumineon V exist, but this appears to be the standard print. While the visual details align with an authentic card, please note that a definitive assessment of authenticity and condition is limited by using only an image. A full authentication would require in-person inspection to feel the card stock, examine print patterns under magnification, and check for any subtle surface damage not visible in the photo.
