Description
A stunning Black Star Promo card from the 25th Anniversary Celebrations Collection. This Dark Sylveon V features a classic holofoil finish with the iconic 25th Anniversary Pikachu head stamp on the right side of the art. The card depicts Sylveon in a dynamic pose with its signature move set Disarming Voice and Tricky Ribbon.
Key Features
Includes the exclusive 25th Anniversary logo stamp; part of the Black Star Promo series; features 'Dark' prefix nomenclature reminiscent of the vintage Team Rocket sets.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'E' regulation mark, accurate SWSH promo numbering, proper holographic sheen, and crisp printing of the 25th Anniversary logo stamp. No common counterfeit signs like 'pixelated' text or incorrect font.
Flaws to Note
Corners show very minor whitening; card is currently stored in a ring binder page without an inner penny sleeve, which often leads to surface scratches and edge wear from movement.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, TCGPlayer, or local Facebook Pokemon buy/sell/trade groups.
Selling Tips
Immediately place the card in a penny sleeve and then a top loader to prevent further surface damage. When listing, mention the 25th Anniversary stamp. Due to the high cost of grading and the low raw value, grading is only recommended if the card is a guaranteed PSA 10 candidate.
