Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $35 - $45; PSA 10: $90 - $110
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $32 to $52 depending on centering. PSA 10 copies have recently settled around the $100 mark.
Condition Details
The centering appears slightly heavy on the right border. Surface looks clean through the top-loader, but minor factory edge wear or silvering is possible upon close inspection. No major creases or corner blunting visible.
Grading Recommendation
Potential candidate for grading if the surface is flawless. The centering may prevent a GEM MINT 10, likely resulting in a PSA 9. Given the current market value, grading is recommended only for personal collection or if pursuing a high-grade registry.
Card Description
Metal-type Basic Pokémon V with 220 HP. Features the attacks 'Metal Coating' and 'Temporal Rupture'. The artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita depicts Origin Forme Dialga in a surreal, cosmic landscape with swirling clouds and rainbow light diffraction typical of 'Alt Art' cards.
Notable Features
Alternate Full Art illustration by legendary artist Mitsuhiro Arita; textured foil surface; etched border; V rule text box at bottom.
Authentication Notes
The texture patterns (fingerprint-like ridges) visible under the light are consistent with genuine Pokémon Company international prints. Font and holofoil quality match known authentic copies of Astral Radiance 177/189.
