Bruxish Pokémon Card (not authenticated)

The featured item is a trading card from the Pokémon TCG featuring the character Bruxish. The card is a standard rectangular paper-based trading card housed inside a clear plastic protective sleeve within a binder pocket. The card has a light blue border and a full-art or stylized illustration filling the central frame depicting the colorful fish-like creature underwater with bubbles, coral, and shipwreck elements. The top left corner displays the word 'BASIC' followed by the name 'Bruxish', and the top right indicates 'HP 100' along with a water energy symbol. Below the main artwork, the card details two attacks: 'Vivid Charge' requiring one water energy and instructing the player to search their deck for up to 3 Basic Energy cards, and 'Wave Splash' requiring two water energies and one colorless energy, dealing 60 damage. The bottom left corner shows a set symbol reading 'SVI' with the collection number '051/198' clearly visible. The lower edge contains copyright and publisher text. The card appears to be in clean, well-preserved condition with sharp corners visible inside the sleeve, though the item is unverified and not authenticated. The identification is based on the legible card text, character artwork, and visible collection numbers.

Based on what I can see in the provided image, the trading card appears to be a modern Pokémon TCG card depicting Bruxish from the Scarlet & Violet base set, numbered 051/198. The surface, centering, and corners appear clean within the protective sleeve. However, I cannot verify from a photo whether the card is genuinely printed by The Pokémon Company, nor can I assess fine surface wear, micro-scratches, or cardstock thickness that would only be apparent upon physical inspection. Modern bulk and uncommon Pokémon cards of this type typically trade in a very low price range, usually between $0.25 and $1.00 in near-mint condition, driven primarily by casual player demand and set completion collectors. If this piece were to turn out to be a modern counterfeit, proxy, or unauthorized reproduction, the value would drop to effectively zero for collector purposes. To establish true condition-based grading and verify that the card is not a counterfeit, an in-person examination by a professional trading card grader or submission to a third-party grading service (such as PSA, BGS, or CGC) for physical authentication would be required.
