Italian-language Pokémon trading card from the Fossil set featuring Gengar, card number 20/62, First Edition, non-holographic rare, 1 card, condition LP/PL with whitening on the back and included protective sleeve.
Description from the seller
In this listing we present a great classic of vintage Pokémon card collecting, an essential for those who want to complete the historic sets from Wizards of the Coast: Gengar (20/62) - Fossil Set - 1st Edition (Italian Language).
Gengar has always been one of the most popular and sought-after Ghost-type Pokémon among collectors. This specific specimen belongs to the Fossil expansion (iconic skeleton paw symbol at bottom right of the illustration) and is the Non-Holographic Rare (number 20/62).
What makes this card a piece of history is the presence of the highly sought-after "FIRST EDITION" symbol stamped halfway across the left side, certifying its belonging to the very first Italian-language print run (year 1999-2000).
Now to its condition, the most crucial aspect in the collectible card market. As you honestly and perfectly documented with backlit photos and the back details, the card presents in conditions classifiable between Lightly Played and Played - LP/PL.
The front (Ken Sugimori artwork) still holds up very well, maintaining vivid colors, but shows light superficial scratches due to normal use over time. The blue back, however, shows evident signs of wear: whitening along all edges and corners. Fortunately, there do not appear to be deep structural creases or tears. The card is provided inside a protective transparent sleeve (and/or toploader).
