Description
This is a 2021 Pokemon Fusion Strike Rillaboom V Ultra Rare card. The card features the Grass-type Final Evolution of Grookey in a dynamic action pose using its drums. It includes the 'Rapid Strike' designation and a 'V rule' box. The card has a distinctive holofoil finish typical of V cards from the Sword & Shield era.
Key Features
Ultra Rare V-mechanic card; Rapid Strike style designation; Modern staple for Rillaboom collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct font kerning for HP and attacks, proper Sword & Shield set symbol (Fusion Strike), and appropriate holistic sheen. This specific low-value card is rarely professionally counterfeited compared to Alt Arts.
Flaws to Note
Slightly off-center top-to-bottom and left-to-right. Being stored in a non-sleeved binder page can lead to micro-scratches on the holo surface. No visible creases or corner dings observed.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
TCGPlayer, eBay (as part of a lot), or local card shop bulk bins. Selling individually on eBay is difficult due to shipping costs relative to card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the $15-$20 grading fee is significantly higher than the card's worth. Best sold as part of a 'Rapid Strike' bundle or a Rillaboom character set. If selling online, use a Plain White Envelope (PWE) to keep shipping costs low for the buyer.
