The Grass Tera type here introduces an unexpected strategic twist for this usually Rock/Dark type. ## SET RELEASE & PRINT RUN The Tyranitar ex (Tera) card is part of the Scarlet & Violet: Obsidian Flames set, released in August 2023.

[How does authenticity detection work?](/fake-art-detection) ## GRADING EXPERT'S TAKE Trading Card Market Analyst Card Specialist The visible text, set code, card number, and artwork clearly identify this card as Tyranitar ex from the Obsidian Flames set. Condition assessment is based on visible surface and edge wear, which is discernible despite moderate image quality. ### KEY EVIDENCE - 1 The card is identified as 'Tyranitar ex' with 'Tera' designation. - 2 The set code 'GOBF EN' and card number '066/197' confirm it is from the English Scarlet & Violet: Obsidian Flames expansion. - 3 The '★★' symbol indicates it is a Double Rare card, a specific rarity tier. - 4 The artist is clearly credited as 5ban Graphics. - 5 Visible damage on the surface and edges points to a non-mint condition. ### UNCERTAINTIES - • The image quality, while sufficient for identification, is not sharp enough to thoroughly assess subtle print defects or texture for an accurate condition grade. ### WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY - → Provide clear, well-lit images of the card's front and back, out of sleeve if applicable. - → Include close-up photos of all four corners and edges to assess wear more accurately. - → Take a picture under angled light to highlight any surface scratches or indentations. - → Measure the centering of the card's artwork within the border. COLLECTOR GLOSSARY (4 terms) ## CONDITION & GRADE ### Condition The card shows visible wear, particularly on the edges and corners, suggesting it has been handled frequently or played without a protective sleeve. There are noticeable scratches and scuffing on the holographic surface, impacting its visual appeal and potential grade. ## TRADING CARD MARKET VALUE $2 - $10 Updated: Feb 27, 2026 How we estimate value - Market comparables from auctions & retail - Condition, completeness & craftsmanship - Current collector demand & trends - Low = quick sale, high = patient seller For informational purposes only, not a formal appraisal. ## FROM THE CABINET OF [MO ](/cabinet/momofthecircus) [ ### Momofthecircus ](/cabinet/momofthecircus) The Connoisseur • 91 items [View Full Cabinet](/cabinet/momofthecircus) ### COMMENTS No comments yet.
