PSA Graded Card - Certification #120106540 - Grade: MINT 9

This card features the Pokémon Blastoise ex as a full-art, Special Illustration Rare from the Scarlet & Violet: 151 set, as denoted by the gold star and numbering. Blastoise is rendered in a dynamic, underwater scene with vibrant blue tones and bubble effects, complemented by holographic foil throughout the card. The border is silver with a textured foil finish, highlighting the premium rarity. The card displays signature attacks: 'Solid Shell' and 'Twin Cannons,' with clearly printed game text and ability boxes. It is stamped with the set information and official artist credit (Mitsuhiro Arita). This card is encapsulated in a PSA slab with a Mint 9 grading. There are no visible flaws, inching toward near-perfect corners and centering. The use of full-art, special foil printing, and detailed, storybook-style illustration sets this card apart from regular ex cards and even standard full-arts. The 'Special Illustration Rare' flag denotes its chase-card status within the set. The card's unique number (200/165) confirms it's a secret rare, and its distinct Blastoise art, compared to prior TCG issues, helps collectors instantly identify it as a major modern chase card.
