SHINING MISSINGNO. (CUSTOM ART) [2019/20 PLANET STAR]: IDENTIFICATION

This is a non-official, custom-made trading card featuring the 'MissingNo.' glitch character from the early Pokémon video games. The card utilizes the 'Neo Revelation' era (2001) aesthetic, specifically mimicking the 'Shining' card layout characterized by a silver sparkle foil background and a non-holo character sprite. It explicitly lists 'Planet Star, DarkV.' and '© 2019, 2020' in the copyright line, confirming it is a modern artistic tribute rather than a vintage Pokémon TCG product. The card features a standard English-style reverse side consistent with mid-series Pokémon cards.

In the actual Pokémon Trading Card Game, Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast never produced a MissingNo. card. This specific item was printed around 2019-2020 by custom card creators who often sell via platforms like Etsy or Instagram, targeting 'glitch' enthusiasts and novelty collectors.

How does authenticity detection work?

GRADING EXPERT'S TAKE

Trading Card Market Analyst

Card Specialist

The card clearly identifies its origin in the fine print and uses a character known only to exist as a fan-made concept in card form.

KEY EVIDENCE

  • 1Copyright text identifies 'Planet Star' and '2019, 2020' dates.
  • 2Artist credit 'SergoG' is associated with custom proxy creators.
  • 3MissingNo. is not a canonical TCG character.
  • 4Font weight and kerning on 'Sky Attack' deviates from authentic WotC typography.

UNCERTAINTIES

  • •Explicitly a modern creation mimicking a 20-year-old style.
  • •Will not be eligible for professional grading services.

WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY

  • →No further authentication is required as the card identifies itself as a custom piece.
  • →Store in a sleeve to maintain its novelty value.

CONDITION & GRADE

PSA 9-10 (Equivalent)

Grading breakdown

Visually near-perfect centering on both front and back; however, as a 'custom/proxy' card, professional grading companies like PSA or Beckett will generally not authenticate or grade this item.

Condition

The card exhibits sharp corners and clean edges with no visible whitening on the rear blue borders. The surface shows a high-gloss finish typical of modern custom printings rather than the matte-clay feel of authentic 2001 Neo-era cards.

TRADING CARD MARKET VALUE

$5 - $20
