Wishes for Eyes of Blue Appraisal
Category: Trading Card
Description
This is a Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card titled "Wishes for Eyes of Blue". The card features a full-art illustration depicting a scene in a wooded or natural environment with a figure standing among trees under a starry or sparkling sky. The artwork is highly reflective and has a 'shatterfoil' or similar pattern of light refraction, indicating a special rarity or printing. The card is a Spell Card, as indicated by the text below the title. The text box contains the card's effect, which appears to relate to "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and provides a drawing and equipping effect. The card is enclosed within a protective plastic sleeve. The edges and corners of the card appear to be sharp and intact, suggesting good condition. The title and attributes at the top of the card are clearly printed. The copyright information at the bottom right and the set identification number to the right of the text box are visible but difficult to read clearly due to the image resolution and protective sleeve. The overall presentation indicates a collectible trading card, likely from a specific set.
Appraisal Report
I have examined the provided image of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card "Wishes for Eyes of Blue". Based on a visual assessment, the card appears to be in excellent condition, with sharp corners and edges visible through the protective sleeve. The surface retains its highly reflective 'shatterfoil' pattern, suggesting minimal handling. The full-art printing is a key feature of desirability for collectors. This card is likely from a set that released this specific rarity/version. The "Eyes of Blue" archetype, particularly anything related to "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", consistently maintains moderate to high demand in the secondary market. Full-art and higher rarity versions of popular cards are particularly sought after. While market prices fluctuate based on specific sets and release dates, this appears to be a desirable variant. For full authentication and a definitive condition grade, an in-person examination outside of the sleeve is necessary to check for subtle surface wear, print lines, or minor corner imperfections not visible in the image. Provenance documentation could further confirm the card's history. Without physical inspection, I cannot definitively rule out the possibility of a high-quality counterfeit, although the foil pattern and printing visible appear consistent with authentic examples. My valuation is based on the assumption of authenticity and near-mint to mint condition as suggested by the image.
