Magneton 1st edition Holo card

[Axilz]

Hello everyone :)

I just found a pokemon card in my drawers. Look at this Magneton. Whole card is holo (not only a picture), which confuses me, cause it is the only card I have that looks like this (I'm not really a specialist in pokemon cards).

Can anyone tell me more about this card? Is it worth anything?

It's unfortunately a fake. Sorry for the bad news. :(

Giveaway is the foil pattern on the whole card. That holo pattern wasn't used until many years later, and it's only ever been used on "special" holo versions of later cards (also only in the picture frame of the card art, not on the whole card), and 1st Edition Fossil Magneton was not one of them.

You can also feel that it's fake. It's a lot more easy to bend if you compare it to an actual card. I saw one of these at a pokemon TCG gathering back in 2003. It's a fake unfortunately.

Thank you guys for answering!! I'm not really surprised about it. It's also a different size (smaller card) so it really makes sense. Not a big disappointment though :) Thanks!
