MATERIAL & CONDITION

Surface

The card has a glossy, holographic surface across the entire front face, indicating its Super Rare (SR) alternate art status. It appears to be housed within a clear soft sleeve, which provides a layer of protection but can also obscure minor surface imperfections.

Weight & Feel

This is a standard trading card, so it is lightweight, likely weighing only a few grams. When sleeved, it retains its thin, flexible nature, consistent with other paper or plastic laminate gaming cards.

Condition

The card appears to be in near mint to excellent condition, with sharp corners and edges visible through the sleeve. Centering seems acceptable, though a more precise assessment would require a view without the sleeve and ideally, the back of the card without glare. No obvious creases, bends, or surface abrasions are immediately apparent.
