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 well-loved Base Set Unlimited Charizard with heavy creasing, surface cracks, and edge/corner wear on both sides — a genuine PSA 1-range damaged card, buy only as a filler or for the artwork. Flags: multiple deep creases across front through the artwork and text; extensive creasing across entire back; surface cracks and holo scratches; heavy edge whitening and chipping on all sides; rounded/dinged corners; seller-listed as DMG

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

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)

Genuine English Base Set Charizard with strong eye appeal but clearly creased front and back plus corner/edge whitening — a damaged PSA 1-2 (Authentic/Poor) card, as the listing's DMG label indicates. Flags: crease through front holo artwork; vertical crease line through back pokeball; corner whitening on all four corners; edge whitening/roughness on back edges; holo surface scratches; listing explicitly marked DMG

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

A clean-looking English Rayquaza VMAX alt art with good centering and no obvious damage, but the distant in-sleeve photos can't confirm corner and edge quality, so treat it as a likely 7-8 pending closer inspection. Flags: photographed inside sleeve/toploader at distance; corners and edges not verifiable at close range; possible slight front centering shift

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 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 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

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

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

A Rayquaza VMAX alt art whose back close-ups reveal corner and edge whitening, so despite a nice-looking front this grades conservatively in the 6-7 range. Flags: whitening on back top-left and bottom-left corners; light whitening on back left edge; card stood on rug at an angle, not laid flat — corners/edges hard to assess; front photo is a stitched composite; no clean flat front scan

This is a gold metal novelty/replica, not a real WOTC Charizard — it has no collectible grade and PSA will not authenticate or grade it. Flags: NOT a genuine Pokemon card — gold-plated metal/foil novelty replica; not authentic and not gradable by PSA; only one photo, front only, no back shown; 'Pokemon Power' printed without accent, wrong art style — clear fake tell

English Lugia V alt art that photographs nicely on the front, but the back reveals top-corner whitening/dings that will hold it to roughly a PSA 6-7. Flags: whitening/ding at top corners on the back; faint whitening on back top edge

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
