PSA 9 grading – condition and authenticity

The card is professionally graded by PSA and has received a grade of 9, typically described as Mint or Near Mint. This means the card shows minimal wear and very few, if any, visible flaws. PSA’s hard plastic case protects the card from external influences and clearly documents the grade on the label. Note that it cannot be determined from the available data whether this copy is a 1st Edition or an unlimited variant — both exist in the Jungle series.

Collector value and the significance of the Jungle set

The Jungle set holds a special place in Pokémon TCG history as the first supplement to the original Base Set. For collectors of Pokémon cards from the WotC era, graded commons like Mankey 55/64 are attractive, especially for those aiming to build complete non-holo graded sets from the early releases. Although Mankey is not a chase card, it has value as part of a complete Jungle set in high condition.

Details about the card’s features

Mankey 55/64 from Jungle has 30 HP and offers the Pokémon Power “Peek”, which in the retro ruleset lets you look at one card from your deck, hand, or a Prize card once per turn.
