Description
This 2022 Boltund V promo card features a vibrant full-art illustration of the Electric-type Pokemon in a floral field. It is a Black Star Promo card released specifically for the Boltund V Box set, featuring attacks 'Smash Turn' and 'Electrobullet'. The card has a smooth holofoil finish characteristic of the Sword & Shield era 'V' cards.
Key Features
Exclusive Black Star Promo artwork not found in standard booster sets; popular 'dog' Pokemon; widely accessible but essential for master set collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Texture and holofoil pattern are consistent with genuine TPCi prints; font type and spacing match known SWSH219 specimens; copyright text and set symbol (Star with 'PROMO') are correctly placed. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Minor white chipping visible on the bottom right corner edge; slight vertical off-centering (bottom border is thicker than the top); potential surface scuffing from being held in a plastic binder sleeve without a penny sleeve.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for individual sales), TCGPlayer (best for high-volume sellers), or local card shop bulk trade-in.
Selling Tips
Listing as 'Near Mint' is appropriate if surface scratches are minimal. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a standard envelope (eBay Standard Envelope for $0.64) to maximize profit on low-value items. Do not grade unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10.
