• 1x Mankey #056/165 - 151 - Common - Pokémon Trading Card - TCG Single - Near Mint
  This individual trading card is carefully shipped in a protective penny sleeve inside a rigid toploader, ensuring it arrives in the condition described.

Condition:

This card is graded as Near Mint. It has been meticulously inspected to meet the high standards of both collectors and competitive players. Key condition details include:

• Surface: Clean with no scratches or scuffs; minor factory speck on the top front edge (a common occurrence in modern printing).
• Centering: 9.0/10 (Left/Right: 48/52, Top/Bottom: 45/55), providing excellent balance for a standard common card.

To preserve its condition, the card is shipped professionally sleeved in a clear penny sleeve and secured within a rigid toploader. Additionally, this card is a verified authentic print, guaranteed to be a genuine product of the Pokémon Company.

Why Collectors & Players Love This Card:

The 151 set is a nostalgic masterpiece, focusing exclusively on the original Kanto Pokédex. Mankey, with its iconic "Pig Monkey" design, is a fan favorite and one of the first Fighting-type Pokémon encountered in the original Game Boy games. For collectors aiming to complete a "Master Set" of the 151 expansion, this card is essential.

Gameplay Highlights:

• Thrash: This attack deals 20+ damage. Flip a coin to potentially double the damage to 40, though a "tails" result means Mankey does 20 damage to itself. This high-risk, high-reward move perfectly reflects Mankey's volatile personality.
• Evolution Path: As a Basic Pokémon, this card serves as the foundation for evolving into the powerful Primeape and eventually the devastating Annihilape, making it a staple for Fighting-type deck builds.

Investment & Collectibility:

While Common in rarity, cards from special subsets like 151 often hold better long-term value than standard set commons. The enduring demand for this set, driven by its connection to the "Generation 1" Pokémon, makes every card in the 165-card sequence a piece of history.

• Artwork: Mina Nakai’s unique, almost woodblock-print style, showcases Mankey in a dynamic pose set against a striking silhouette of trees and a setting sun.
