Category: Collectible Card
Description
The item is a single Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card titled "PATISSCIEL COUVERTURE". It is a Fusion/Pendulum/Effect Monster card with the attributes DARK, FAIRY type. The card artwork depicts an anime-style character, seemingly a maid, holding a large whisk in one hand and a decorated cake in the other. The background features what appears to be a bakery or kitchen scene. The card displays a holographic or foil finish across the lower artwork area, adding a shimmer effect. It is identified as a Level 5 monster with an ATK of 1700 and DEF of 700. The card text describes its Pendulum Effect and Monster Effect, pertaining to placing face-up Pendulum Monsters in the Pendulum Zone and moving itself to the Pendulum Zone if destroyed. The card number is MP23-EN110, indicating it belongs to the Mega Pack 2023 set (MP23) and is part of the English language release (EN). Beneath the card number is the production code and the words "1st Edition", suggesting this is from the first printing of this card within this set. The copyrights listed include © Studio Dice/SHUEISHA, TV TOKYO, KONAMI. The card appears to be in good condition with no visible major damage, wear, or creasing, and is housed within a protective plastic sleeve, which is likely contributing to its preserved state. The borders and corners appear sharp and clean. The overall quality of the print and holographic effect seems high.
Appraisal Report
I have examined the provided image of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Patissciel Couverture MP23-EN110 1st Edition. Based on my visual assessment, the card appears to be in Excellent to Near Mint condition. The borders and corners seem sharp, the surface appears clean, and the holographic foil area shows no significant scratching. The presence of the '1st Edition' designation beneath the card number indicates it's from the initial printing of the Mega Pack 2023 set. Visually, the print quality and holographic effect appear consistent with authentic Konami products. The card is housed in a protective sleeve, which is likely instrumental in its preserved state. This specific card is an Ultra Rare within the MP23 set. Market data for this card in similar condition shows sales typically ranging from minor fractions of a dollar up to a few dollars. While it's a playable card and has attractive artwork, it is not currently a highly sought-after or meta-defining card, nor does its rarity or set typically command high values for non-staple cards. Demand is moderate among players and collectors of the archetype. Authenticity verification from an image alone is limited; a physical inspection would be necessary to definitively confirm the card's texture, weight, and the subtle security features often present on genuine Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. Provenance, such as the original packaging it came from, could also aid in full authentication.
