Tapu Koko V Holographic Pokémon Card Appraisal
Category: Collectibles
Description
A collectible trading card, specifically a Pokémon card featuring the character Tapu Koko V. The card is a standard size for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, printed on cardstock. It features full-color artwork depicting Tapu Koko in a dynamic pose with red and black coloration and energy effects. The card has a holographic finish, giving it a shiny, reflective appearance, particularly visible on the character and around the attack names. Text is printed in English. Key information includes the character's name 'Tapu Koko V', a Hit Point (HP) value of '210', and the attacks 'Electro Ball' and 'Spiral Thunder'. There are attack costs and damage values associated with the attacks, although the damage value for Spiral Thunder is partially obscured but appears to be '20+'. Below the attack descriptions, there is fine print providing rules and information about the card. The bottom left corner displays set information, which is somewhat blurry but appears to be a set symbol and numbering. The card is enclosed in what appears to be a plastic sleeve or protector, which is designed to preserve its condition. The card itself appears to be in good condition, with no immediately visible creases, tears, or significant edge wear, although a definitive condition assessment would require examining the card outside of the protector. The edges and corners appear relatively sharp, and the surface is clean and free of visible scratches.
Appraisal Report
Based on my visual examination of the provided image, this is a Tapu Koko V card from the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The item appears to be the standard holographic version, number 050/198, from the Chilling Reign set released in 2021. The card presents in what appears to be Near Mint or better condition, enclosed in a protective sleeve. The corners and edges seem sharp, and the holographic surface is clean and vibrant without obvious scratches or print lines. Authenticity appears consistent with a genuine Pokémon TCG product, based on the font, coloration, and layout. However, I must state that definitive authentication is not possible from images alone; a physical inspection is required to check card stock, texture, and light penetration to rule out a high-quality counterfeit. The market for this specific card is well-established but modest. As a standard 'V' card, it is not considered exceptionally rare. Its value is primarily driven by its playability in the Pokémon TCG and its appeal to collectors of the Chilling Reign set. Current market data shows recent sales of raw, near-mint copies trading in a consistent and narrow price band. The value provided reflects its status as a common holographic card rather than a rare alternate or full art version.
