SET RELEASE & PRINT RUN

The Japanese Black & White era (known as the BW series) of the Pokémon Trading Card Game spanned from late 2010 to late 2013, introducing the fifth generation of Pokémon. This period brought new mechanics and card designs, and its sets are well-regarded by collectors for their unique aesthetics and playability. Noble Victories (Victini Collection in Japan) was one of the early sets in this era, which is notable for featuring several fan-favorite Pokémon from the Unova region. The Japanese language versions often feature different print runs and holographic finishes compared to their international counterparts.

GRADING EXPERT'S TAKE

Trading Card Market Analyst

Card Specialist

The core identification of the Pokémon, language, and approximate era is solid based on visible text and artwork. The card number is partially visible, allowing for a strong identification, though full set context would improve absolute certainty.

KEY EVIDENCE

1The card clearly shows the Japanese character for Dewott (フタチマル) at the top.
2The set code '023/L-P' is visible in the bottom right corner, confirming its identity as a Japanese promotional or set card.
3The artwork and card layout are consistent with the Black & White series of the Pokémon TCG.

UNCERTAINTIES

•Exact set name and rarity tier are not fully legible in the image, requiring minor inference or external lookup based on the card number and art style.

WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY

→Clearer, high-resolution image of the bottom right corner to precisely identify the set and card number/rarity symbol.
→Close-up images of the card's front and back, especially edges and corners, to assess whitening and wear.
→Angled shots under direct light to reveal any surface imperfections like scratches or print lines.

CONDITION & GRADE

Condition

The card appears to be in generally good condition from the provided overhead images. I do not observe obvious creases, heavy scratches, or significant whitening on the visible edges or corners. However, a detailed assessment of centering, minor edge wear, and surface integrity (e.g., micro-scratches from handling) would require closer inspection.
