$70.00USD

PSA Graded Card - Certification #110582544 - Grade: NM-MT 8

This card features Dark Slowbro, depicted with its characteristic shell, against a sparkling holographic background. The card has a yellow border, characteristic of early English-language Pokémon cards. The artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita shows Dark Slowbro looking to the left with its Shellder companion on its tail. The top left corner contains the 'Stage 1' evolution icon, with the Team Rocket 'R' symbol on the right. It’s a 1st Edition card, noted by the black 'Edition 1' stamp below the illustration. Text for Pokémon Power and Attack is printed in black, and all Wizard-era design cues are present. The surface shows the typical holofoil pattern of the era, with multicolor reflective speckles. Card number is 12/82 from the Team Rocket set. Condition, graded PSA 8 (Near Mint - Mint), suggests very minor edge/corner wear or surface flaws with strong visual appeal. This set was significant as it introduced 'dark' Pokémon, themed on the villainous Team Rocket, adding new gameplay strategies and collector appeal. Distinctive identifiers are the 1st Edition stamp, holofoil finish, and Team Rocket icon.
