Year & Era
2024 — Scarlet & Violet Era (TCG)
Card Type
Special Illustration Rare (SIR)
Grade
Raw — Appears Near Mint to Mint (estimated 8-9 range)
Rarity
Special Illustration Rare (indicated by the double-gold star rarity icon). These are the most difficult pulls in the set.
Overall Assessment
A beautiful high-rarity pull from the latest Pokémon set. While not a football card, it is a highly desirable 'Special Illustration Rare' that is currently a centerpiece of its respective hobby.
Condition Grade
Raw — Appears Near Mint to Mint (estimated 8-9 range)
Centering Assessment
Front: Appears slightly heavy toward the left and bottom based on the visible border silvering; approximate 60/40 centering.
Surface Condition
Holographic/Textured surface appears clean with vibrant colors. Lighting reflects vertical holo streaks typical for the SV era.
Corner Condition
Corners appear relatively sharp with minimal whitening visible from the front view, though potential for minor factory dings.
Edge Condition
Edges appear straight; silvered borders for this era are prone to micro-chipping but none are prominent in this photo.
Print Quality
High-quality textured etching. The image sharpness is consistent with 2024 English production standards.
Estimated Value
$50.00 - $70.00 USD (market price varies based on recent competitive play results).
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard pull for this set; centering looks average to slightly below average compared to high-grade population copies.
Authentication Tips
Verify holographic texture (it should have fine, swirly fingerprint-like texturing). Fake cards usually have a smooth, flat surface with vertical light reflections only.
Grading Recommendation
PSA or CGC. Worthy of grading if seeking a Gem Mint 10 for collection; raw value is high enough that grading cost is justified if the back is pristine.
Red Flags
No significant red flags; card exhibits the correct font size, text spacing, and holographic pattern for the TWM set.
Provenance Notes
Distributed in Twilight Masquerade booster packs and Elite Trainer Boxes starting May 2024.
Historical Context
Ogerpon is the mascot hero of the Teal Mask DLC for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet; this card represents its debut as a top-tier rare.
Market Trends
Strong demand as this is a 'chase card' and also a competitive meta-game card for the Teal Mask Ogerpon deck archetype.
Investment Potential
Moderate to High. SIR cards of popular legendaries typically hold long-term value for set collectors once the set goes out of print.
Similar Cards
Charizard ex (OBF), Raging Bolt ex (TEF), Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex (TWM).
Display & Preservation
Store in a penny sleeve and a semi-rigid top loader or magnetic one-touch case to prevent surface scratching.
Interesting Facts
Despite the user prompt asking for football details, this card is actually from a Trading Card Game based on a video game franchise.
