Description
This is a stunning Secret Rare 'Rainbow Rare' version of the Pokémon Breeder's Nurturing Supporter card from the Darkness Ablaze set. It features a vibrant, multi-colored holographic foil finish with a distinct fingerprint-like texture. The artwork by kirisAki depicts two trainers with their Pokémon in a full-bleed illustration that covers the entire card face.
Key Features
Hyper Rare (Rainbow) status, Full Art texture, 'D' regulation mark, Secret Rare numbering (195/189) which exceeds the base set count.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The diagonal rainbow diffraction and the visible fingerprint texture are key indicators of a genuine Pokémon Company product. Counterfeits usually lack this physical texture or have a vertical/dull rainbow shine.
Flaws to Note
The card appears top-heavy (centering issues). There is a high risk of 'surface scratches' or 'binder dings' because the card is stored directly in a plastic page without a penny sleeve, which often causes micro-abrasions on the delicate textured surface.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
TCGplayer (best for raw cards), eBay (best for graded or multi-card lots), or Mercari.
Selling Tips
Immediately place this card in a 'Penny Sleeve' before putting it back in the binder or a 'Top Loader' to prevent further surface wear. Do not grade this specific card unless you believe it is a flawless PSA 10, as grading fees currently exceed the value of a PSA 9.
