This is an Arceus V Ultra Rare card from the 2022 Brilliant Stars expansion. The artwork by N-DESIGN Inc. features the mythical Arceus in a dynamic pose with a cosmic background and diagonal holofoil patterns inherent to V-styled cards. It includes the attacks 'Trinity Charge' and 'Power Edge' with a HP of 220.

Features the mascot of the 'Legends: Arceus' video game; popular competitive card for the Trinity Charge energy acceleration; classic V-style black border and holofoil finish.

Flaws to Note
Card is stored in a multi-pocket page without a penny sleeve, which often leads to micro-scratching. Centering looks slightly shifted toward the bottom. Minor white nicking possible on the back corners (unseen) based on typical Brilliant Stars quality control.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, TCGPlayer, or local card shop trade-in. Best as part of a bulk lot or sold on TCGPlayer for quick turnover.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($15+) exceeds the raw value. Remove from the plastic sleeve page and place in a PVC-free penny sleeve and top-loader to prevent further surface wear. List on TCGPlayer for fastest sale.
