Roseanne's Backup Pokemon Trainer Card Appraisal
Category: Trading Card
Description
The item is a standard size trading card featuring colorful artwork. The card's background is a light silver-gray with a holographic or textured pattern visible, creating a sheen under light. The borders are a vibrant yellow. The main image depicts an anime-style character with green hair and red glasses, wearing a white lab coat and holding a scientific flask with blue liquid. Behind the character are stacks of orange and yellow books and some green foliage. Text on the upper portion of the card includes 'TRAINER' and 'Roseanne's Backup' in black lettering, with 'Supporter' in red. The lower half lists bullet points of effects the card provides in gameplay: 'Shuffle a Pokemon from your discard pile into your deck,' 'Shuffle a Pokemon Tool card from your discard pile into your deck,' 'Shuffle a Stadium card from your discard pile into your deck,' and 'Shuffle an Energy card from your discard pile into your deck.' A small horizontal orange bar near the bottom contains the rule 'You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn.' At the very bottom, there is small text: '30 FARITZA' next to an illustration of a Pokéball, 'D 148/172', and copyright information including '2022 Pokemon/Nintendo...', indicating a recent manufacturing date and connection to the Pokemon trading card game. The card appears to be in excellent to near-mint condition, showing no visible signs of wear, creasing, or damage from the provided image.
Appraisal Report
I have examined the Roseanne's Backup Pokémon card, number 148/172 from the Brilliant Stars set, based on the provided image. The card appears to be in excellent to near-mint condition, displaying sharp corners, clean edges, and vibrant colors with no visible creases, scratches, or surface wear. The holographic pattern, font, and card layout are consistent with authentic Pokémon cards from this era. Roseanne's Backup is a relatively common 'uncommon' card from the 2022 Brilliant Stars expansion. While essential for gameplay, its high print run means it does not command a high price on the secondary market. Market comparables on platforms like TCGPlayer and eBay for a non-holo, ungraded version in near-mint condition consistently place its value at under one dollar. The value is primarily driven by its usability in the game rather than collector demand or rarity. Higher value would be associated with a holographic, full-art, or professionally graded version of this card, none of which this appears to be. It is important to note that this appraisal is based solely on visual analysis of an image. A definitive assessment of authenticity and condition requires physical inspection to check card stock, texture, and light refraction. A professional grading service like PSA or Beckett would provide standardized authentication and condition grading, which is the gold standard for collectibles, though not typically cost-effective for a card of this value.
