Now, it's worth noting that PSA does offer up to $1500 insurance for your card at its regular rate, which is significantly more than TAG's $500

I had great success with a Marowak EX deck, which was heavily chance-based (Marowak does massive damage or no damage, based entirely on two coin tosses), but can be set up super fast, allowing you to get in there and, with a bit of luck, wipe out a powerful EX card of your opponents before they can properly set up
The concerning thing is the quality of the print when you see it in high resolution, I dont know if it was possible to print with this quality in 1996 (see the white lines in the blue background) Another interesting thing is that the back is different from LQ beta and alpha and the ones like on the Gyarados, indeed apart from the quality of the whole obviously, the CARD GAME seems to be written in relief
