PSA Graded Card - Certification #111715146 - Grade: GEM MT 10

This is a Japanese Art Rare Pikachu card from the 2023 SV2a Pokemon Card 151 subset. The card features a vibrant full-art illustration by Hiroyuki Yamamoto showing Pikachu interacting playfully with other Pokemon and trainers in a lively marketplace scene. The background is rich with blue and yellow tones, and the card uses a borderless design typical of Art Rare releases, which gives it a premium look. The special 'Art Rare' slot (AR) is noted by the gold AR stamp, and the numbering '173/165' identifies it as a secret rare beyond the base set. The card is graded PSA 10 GEM MT, indicating flawless quality with sharp corners, clean edges, and no visible wear. Being part of the first-generation Kanto-based '151' set gives it considerable collector interest, especially for Pikachu, the franchise mascot. Unique features include its full-art presentation, gold AR rarity label, Japanese text, and vivid, storybook-style artwork. No autograph is present, and it is not a holofoil but has a textured, premium print process distinguishing it from base set cards.
