Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; PSA 10: $75 - $150 (depending on print run/blue vs black label)
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $2 to $10. PSA 9 copies generally sell for $30-$45.
Condition Details
Visible whitening on the top right corner and bottom edge. The surface appears to have minor scratches and light dimpling consistent with age. Centering appears slightly shifted to the right.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless the card is flawlessly mint. The value increase for a mid-grade (EX 5-6) vintage Topps Pokemon card typically does not cover the cost of grading fees.
Card Description
Features the Dragon-type Pokemon Dragonite in a friendly pose inside an oval frame. The background has an orange textured 'rocky' pattern. The bottom features the classic 'Pokémon Gotta catch 'em all!' logo.
Notable Features
This is a Topps non-gameplay card, distinct from the Wizards of the Coast TCG. It features a character summary on the reverse (not visible).
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic. The print quality of the logo, the specific color palette of the orange border, and the card stock thickness are consistent with 1999 Topps Pokemon Series 1 production.
