Condition Grade

7.0 (Near Mint) estimated

Centering Assessment

Front: Skewed slightly bottom-heavy; visibly off-center top to bottom.

Standard color saturation; textured VSTAR Holofoil is present which is correct for the set.

Estimated Value

$1.00 - $3.00 USD

Comparison to Known Examples

This copy appears slightly more off-center than the average 10-grade population.

Authentication Tips

Look for the distinct ripple texture on the card surface; counterfeits are often smooth or have a vertical 'rainbow' sheen without texture.

Grading Recommendation

Not recommended; the cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card.

Red Flags

No significant red flags observed; appears to be a genuine Pokemon TCG card.

Provenance Notes

Produced by The Pokemon Company International; distributed via Lost Origin booster packs.

Historical Context

Magnezone is a Generation 4 Pokemon; the VSTAR mechanic was introduced in 2022 as a successor to VMAX.

Market Trends

Stable/Low; common VSTAR cards maintain low value due to high circulation in the competitive TCG scene.

Investment Potential

Low; primarily a play-piece for the trading card game rather than a long-term blue-chip investment.

Similar Cards

Magnezone V 056/196, Giratina VSTAR, Aerodactyl VSTAR.

Display & Preservation

Standard penny sleeve and top-loader; keep away from direct sunlight to prevent holofoil fading.

Interesting Facts

The 'VSTAR Power' ability can only be used once per game, making it a crucial strategic element in the TCG.
