$30.00USD

PSA Graded Card - Certification #126419286 - Grade: MINT 9

This card features Articuno, a legendary Ice/Flying-type Pokemon, rendered in a beautiful illustration rare format. The background depicts Articuno soaring through a wintry forest with dynamic ice, snow, and light effects, which adds a holographic shimmer to the card. The border is silver with a subtle rainbow-like sheen. The moves featured are 'Frigid Fluttering' and 'Ice Blast,' and the illustrator is credited as Kuroimori. The card displays special set and rarity identifiers (JTG EN set icon, Illustration Rare). Observed in a PSA-graded protective slab, the card appears mint with sharp corners, centered print, and no visible surface flaws. No autograph or memorabilia. The Illustration Rare finish features textured, full-art holographic foil plus unique illustrative art, distinguishing it from regular or standard holo/reverse holo cards. The card's numbering (161/159) indicates a 'secret rare' status, and its holographic techniques use advanced layering for sparkle and depth. Historically, Articuno is one of the original Legendary Birds from Generation 1, which adds collectible significance.
