Slowbro — Aquapolis 33/147 (Pokémon TCG)

Description

Ungraded / raw Aquapolis Slowbro (33/147). Card is the holo version illustrated by Aya Kusube (ID D-40) and shows the ©2002 copyright line at the bottom. Condition and grading: - Raw, ungraded card being sold as-is. The card has visible play/handling wear: light-to-moderate edge wear and whitening around the corners, surface scuffs and fine scratches on the holo finish, and minor surface marks visible through the top of the sleeve. Corners are not crisp enough for a high grade without professional remediation. Back shows some rubbing at the top edge (see photos). This card would most likely receive a mid to low grade from a grading company unless cleaned and rematted first. Notable features: - Classic Aquapolis card — card number 33/147 is printed on the front. This is a holo Slowbro from the Aquapolis era, a set popular with collectors of late‑generation Wizards/early Pokémon-era releases. The holo pattern is present across the artwork (not a non-holo variant). - Illustrator credit (Aya Kusube) and set ID (D-40) are visible on the print, which helps confirm authenticity and set placement. Collectible and playability notes: - This is primarily a collector/nostalgia piece rather than a competitive card for modern formats; Aquapolis cards are sought after by set-completers and vintage Pokémon collectors. Condition will be the primary determinant of market value — the visible surface scratches, edge wear, and corner wear reduce grade and resale potential compared with near‑mint examples. Other observations: - Card is being shown in a hard plastic top-loader for display; scratches visible in photos appear to be both on the sleeve and on the card’s holo surface (buyer should assume card has surface marks). Centering appears slightly off-center at the top but not extreme. No large creases or punctures are obvious in the supplied images, but close inspection recommended if exact grade is required. Selling from a collector’s perspective: this is a genuine Aquapolis holo Slowbro with clear set/artist markings — a good addition for a vintage Aquapolis collection or for someone who wants a display holo Slowbro and is comfortable with moderate wear.
