Description
PSA Graded Card – Certification #79533228 – Grade: NM 7
This card features Dark Gyarados, a Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon evolving from Magikarp, with 70 HP. The card is from the iconic Team Rocket set and bears the ‘1st Edition’ stamp at the left of the artwork, signifying its status as a first printing. The central image shows Dark Gyarados against a holographic, star-dotted background typical of Wizards-era holo cards, with a thick yellow border and classic 1999-2000 English Team Rocket layout. The lower section contains the Pokémon’s attacks (‘Final Beam’ Pokémon Power and ‘Ice Beam’ attack), weaknesses, resistance, and Pokémon lore. The card displays the set symbol (Team Rocket’s ‘R’), the 1st Edition stamp, the copyright years (‘©1995, 96, 98 Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK. ©1999–2000 Wizards.’), and the illustrator’s name (Kagemaru Himeno). The condition, as indicated by the PSA slab, is NM (Near Mint) 7, with minimal edge and surface wear visible. The card’s distinct attributes are the holo pattern, 1st Edition stamp, and its early placement in the English-language Pokémon TCG history. This is one of the most sought-after holo rares from the Team Rocket expansion, contributing to its collectible value.
