    MATERIAL & CONDITION

    Surface

    The card exhibits a standard glossy finish typical of Pokémon TCG cards. The colors appear vibrant, consistent with modern printing. No significant texture variations are immediately apparent from the image.

    Weight & Feel

    As a single trading card, it has a very light, almost insubstantial feel, characteristic of coated cardstock. It would weigh only a few grams.

    Condition

    The visible card appears to be in at least 'Near Mint' raw condition. Centering looks reasonable, edges and corners show minimal to no visible wear. The surface appears clean, though minor scratching or print lines cannot be fully assessed without angled lighting.

    EXPERT ANALYSIS

    Trading Card Market Analyst

    Card Specialist

    Confidence is high due to the clear visibility of key identifying markers such as the Pokémon name, set number, copyright date, and artist. The card layout and aesthetics are consistent with authentic XY Evolutions cards.

    KEY EVIDENCE

    • 1Card identified as 'Doduo' No. 084, a Basic Pokémon.
    • 2Set identifier '69/108' with a copyright date of 2016, confirming it as part of the XY Evolutions expansion.
    • 3Illustrator credited as Mitsuhiro Arita.
    • 4The generic rarity symbol (circle) indicates it is a 'Common' card within its set.
    • 5English language print.

    UNCERTAINTIES

    • •Only the front of the card is visible, preventing a full assessment of back centering and potential edge wear on the reverse.
    • •The image resolution is not high enough to meticulously check for print dots, surface scratches, or holographic inconsistencies (though this card is not holographic).

    WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY

    • →Provide clear, well-lit images of the card's back to assess centering and any rear edge/corner damage.
    • →Provide high-resolution images taken under angled light to inspect for surface imperfections like scratches or print lines.
    • →Measure the card's dimensions at multiple points to ensure it adheres to standard TCG card size.
    • →Inspect the text font and image clarity closely for any discrepancies against known authentic copies.
