Pokémon Dark Blastoise Holographic Trading Card

This is a holographic trading card featuring the character 'Dark Blastoise' (card number 3/82) from the Team Rocket expansion set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, originally published in 2000. This particular card is the rare holographic version, distinguished by the reflective prismatic background in the character's art window. The card displays standard dimensions for a TCG card, made of layered cardstock with a glossy finish. The artwork depicts a more aggressive, stylized version of the classic blue turtle-like Pokémon with mechanical water cannons. Regarding its condition, the card shows significant play wear. There is visible whitening and fraying around the entire outer yellow border, with particularly heavy wear at the corners. Several surface scratches are visible on the holographic film. Micro-chips and edge wear are prominent on the top and right edges. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the bottom-left. No signatures are present, but it contains the original 'Team Rocket' 'R' logo stamp on the right side under the artwork box, indicating its specific set origin and first-run release period.
