Overall, this card remains clean and well-presented for its age, especially on the front.

The front has relatively light general wear with no major or immediately noticeable scratches. There is some normal edge and corner wear.

The back shows some edge whitening/chipping, light surface wear, and several thin line scratches. Some of these surface marks are difficult to see in straight-on photographs and become more visible when the card is viewed under angled lighting.

No major creases, bends, or heavy surface damage are visible.

Due mainly to the back-side line scratches and edge wear, the card has been conservatively evaluated as MP+ (Moderately Played Plus).

The condition has been evaluated based on eBay’s official trading card condition guidelines.

Please carefully review the “Points to Check” image, which highlights imperfections that may be difficult to see in the standard photos. Please also review all photos carefully, as the card shown is the exact card you will receive.

Despite the wear noted above, the front presents particularly well, making this an attractive display copy of an early No Rarity Beedrill.
