AI Appraisal Estimate

This item is a 'Tauros ex' Pokémon trading card, specifically card number 183/226, from what appears to be the 'Mega Rising' set, as indicated by text at the bottom of the display. The card features Tauros in an 'ex' form, signifying a powerful variant with 140 HP (Hit Points). The artwork depicts a brown, bull-like Pokémon with large, curved gray horns, against a vibrant, light-colored background with radiating golden energy effects. The card's border is a reflective, rainbow-like holographic pattern, suggesting a 'full art' or 'secret rare' rarity. Below the Pokémon's image, the card details its 'Wild Tackle' attack, which deals 90 damage but also does 30 damage to itself if a coin flip results in tails. It shows a weakness of +20 to a fighting-type Pokémon (represented by a brown fist symbol) and indicates no resistance or retreat cost. The illustrator's credit '©.PLAIETA CO Works' is visible, along with the 'ex rule' clearly stating that when a Pokémon-EX is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 2 prize cards. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, typical for modern Pokémon cards, with crisp printing and clear holographic effects. The visible image is of a digital representation of the card, likely from an app or website, as evidenced by the UI elements like 'Wishlist' and time indicator '12:19'. Therefore, the physical condition of an actual card cannot be assessed from this image, though the digital rendering itself is clean and undamaged. The card's design and features suggest it is a contemporary Pokémon TCG card, likely from the mid-2010s or more recent, aligning with the introduction and prevalence of 'ex' Pokémon.

Upon examining the provided digital image of the 'Tauros ex' Pokémon trading card, card number 183/226, from what is indicated as the 'Mega Rising' set, I can offer an appraisal. The card appears to be a full-art 'secret rare' variant due to its reflective, rainbow-like holographic border and artwork extending across the card. This specific coloration and design are consistent with authentic Pokémon TCG products for such rarity levels. The crispness of the text, artwork, and holo effects in the digital rendering suggests a high-quality print, typical of genuine cards. Authentication based on this image alone is limited; I cannot assess physical attributes like card stock, texture, or print registration defects that might indicate counterfeiting. A physical examination would require scrutinizing the card's weight, thickness, core layer, and printing technology under magnification. The 'ex rule' and attack details are standard for this era of Pokémon cards. Market conditions for modern full-art ex cards like this Tauros generally show moderate demand. While full-art cards are desirable, Tauros is not among the most popular Pokémon characters, which tempers its value compared to iconic characters (e.g., Charizard, Pikachu). The 'Mega Rising' set, if that is its true origin, is likely a fan-made or custom designation, as no official Pokémon TCG set shares this name. This may imply it's from a non-official release, which would drastically reduce its value. However, the card details (HP, attack, weakness, illustrator) are consistent with official cards. If 'Mega Rising' is a misinterpretation of a legitimate set symbol, this card could be a 'Secret Rare' from an XY-era set, where full-art ex cards typically range from $25-$50 in near-mint condition, sometimes more for highly sought-after Pokémon. Due to the uncertainty of the set name and without a physical inspection confirming authenticity, I assign a cautious appraisal. For full authentication, I would require in-person examination to verify card stock, print quality, and holographic layers, alongside confirmation of the card's official set release.
