Pokémon Card Deal Report

A genuine English Evolving Skies Rayquaza VMAX alt art, but heavily played — rounded corners, extensive edge whitening, and likely creasing put it firmly in the low-grade (PSA 2-4) range. Flags: rounded/worn corners on all four corners; heavy edge whitening all around; possible creases visible on back; overall heavily played condition

A genuine Brilliant Stars Charizard V alt art but a self-described moderate-play copy with edge/corner whitening and a possible center crease — a mid-grade playable, not an investment card. Flags: seller-disclosed 'MODERATE PLAY'; possible bend/crease line across center; edge whitening visible on black borders; corner whitening top corners; back never shown — cannot verify back centering or wear

Clean-looking English Rayquaza VMAX alt art with full front and back shots, but slightly off-center front and a faint holo waviness plus lack of macro edge/corner detail keep it in the PSA 7-8 range. Flags: front centering off ~60/40 left-right; possible surface waviness/print lines across top of front holo; no angled/macro corner or edge shots to rule out edge wear

The copyright reads ©2022 (authentic Base Set Unlimited reads ©1999 Wizards) and the picture box shows no holofoil — this is almost certainly a counterfeit/reproduction rather than a genuine WOTC Charizard, so it is effectively ungradeable. Flags: copyright line reads '©2022 Pokemon/Nintendo/Creatures/GAME FREAK' — a genuine Base Set Unlimited Charizard reads '©1995, 96, 98 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK. ©1999 Wizards.'; no Wizards of the Coast copyright present; picture area appears non-holo/matte, not foil; strong counterfeit / reproduction indicators — PSA would likely return this as not authentic (ungradeable)

1999 Base Set Unlimited Charizard with off-center front, visible holo scratching, and no back shown - a mid-grade played copy, realistically PSA 5-7. Flags: holo surface scratching visible; off-center ~60/40; back never shown; corner softness; 1999 Base Set Unlimited (shadowed, Wizards) - not 1st edition

Genuine Unlimited Charizard but well-worn — a visible crease through the holo plus heavy back-corner and edge fraying put it in the PSA 2-4 range. Flags: vertical crease/bend line through top border and holo; heavy whitening and fraying on back bottom-left corner and edges; genuine English Base Set Unlimited (real blue Pokeball back confirmed)

A vintage Base Set Charizard shown front-only with holo scuffing and soft corners, roughly PSA 4-6 pending a back photo. Flags: front-only photo (no back shown); surface scuffing on holo; glare from sleeve/toploader; genuine 1999 Wizards Base Set

Genuine English Base Set Charizard 4/102 holo, but the sole photo is a low-res gallery screenshot with no corner/edge/back detail, so condition is unverifiable and should be treated cautiously. Flags: single low-resolution eBay-gallery screenshot, not a proper scan; back of the actual card never shown (only a partial thumbnail of a card back); no corner or edge detail visible; centering slightly off

Genuine 1999 Unlimited Base Set Charizard with a clean bright holo but visible corner whitening on both bottom corners and edge wear, plus no back shown, putting it in the PSA 5-7 range. Flags: corner whitening on both bottom corners; top-left corner ding/edge line; left and bottom edge wear/chipping; back never shown; off-center front

A sharp-fronted Rayquaza VMAX alt art with a clean holo surface, but a slightly soft back corner with faint whitening and limited back coverage keep it in the PSA 7-8 range. Flags: back bottom-left corner slightly rounded with faint whitening at tip; back shown only via single-corner close-up, remaining corners/edges of back unverified

Clean-looking English Sylveon VMAX alt art with roughly 60/40 centering and sharp-appearing front corners, but with no back photos the true condition of the back corners and edges is unverified, so grade conservatively in the PSA 7-8 range. Flags: back of card never shown (all 4 photos are front); possible minor tip wear top-left corner; faint specks/possible light scratch in bottom-right holo

Attractive Charizard V alt art with a clean front, but close-ups reveal noticeable back edge whitening and a top-right corner ding that will hold it to a PSA 7-8. Flags: whitening/roughness along back left edge; whitening on back top-right corner tip; back edge wear visible in close-up shots 02/03

A genuine but heavily creased and scratched 1999 Base Set Charizard beater that would grade PSA 1-2. Flags: heavy creasing front and back; deep holo scratches; whitening on all corners and edges; genuine 1999 Wizards Base Set Unlimited

A genuine Unlimited Base Set Charizard shown front and back with only light wear — corner and edge whitening plus slight off-centering put it around PSA 5-7. Flags: whitening on top-right corner; light edge whitening along top; light holo scratching; slightly off-center

A nice-looking Gengar VMAX alt art with a clean front, but back edge whitening and the seller's own LP label point to a PSA 5-7 rather than a gem. Flags: seller lists card as LP (lightly played); whitening along back edges; minor tip wear front bottom-left corner; back centering slightly off

A Chinese-language Giratina V alt art (150/131, 2024) that does not match the English 186/196 Lost Origin card in the listing title — back looks clean but the low-res front hides corner and edge detail. Flags: Chinese-language card (Simplified Chinese text); set/number mismatch: card reads 150/131 ©2024 (Chinese release), NOT the '186/196 Lost Origin' English alt art in the title; low-resolution front photo limits corner/edge assessment

A Spanish-language Rayquaza VMAX alt art that looks presentable but is photographed too poorly to confirm corner, edge and surface condition — buy assuming risk. Flags: Spanish-language print (Evoluciona de Rayquaza V / Habilidad / Pulso Celeste); all photos out of focus and shot at an angle; condition cannot be reliably verified
