Pokémon Trading Card: Nidorino (Base Set)

The item is a vintage Pokémon trading card, specifically identified as 'Nidorino' with 90 HP. The card features a pale purple background with a lighter yellow-orange rectantular illustration panel depicting the Nidorino character, a quadrupedal, spiny, purple creature. The card is printed on standard card stock materials typical of trading cards from its era, likely the late 1990s or early 2000s, given the art style and layout consistent with the original Base Set or early expansions of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Key features include the 'STAGE 1' evolution marker, indicating it evolves from an unpictured Stage 0 Pokémon. Below the character illustration, the card lists its Pokedex number (No. 033), species (Poison Pin Pokémon), height (HT: 2'11"), and weight (WT: 43.0 lbs). The card details two attacks: 'Horn Attack' with 20 damage, and 'Fury Attack' with '30x' damage, requiring 3 coin flips with 10 damage for each 'heads'. The card's borders are gold/yellow. The visible portion of the card maintains vibrant colors without significant fading, suggesting it has been stored out of direct sunlight. It is currently encased in a clear plastic sleeve or top-loader, which protects its surfaces and edges. While the protective sleeve may obscure minor imperfections, the visible surfaces appear to be in good condition with no obvious creases, tears, or major surface abrasions. The corners appear to be relatively sharp, indicating less handling wear than typical for an uncased card of its age. The edges also appear clean, without notable whitening or chipping. The card's overall quality suggests it has been well-preserved.
