Description
2020 Pokemon Sword & Shield Darkness Ablaze Galarian Slowbro V #099. This Ultra Rare card features the regional Galarian variant of Slowbro with its signature armor and 'Rapid-Fire Poison' ability. The card displays vibrant colors and high-definition '5ban Graphics' artwork typical of the V-series era.
Key Features
Ultra Rare Pokemon V designation; First V-card appearance for Galarian Slowbro; Sword & Shield era set chase card.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct font styles and spacing for the '210 HP' text; era-appropriate 'V rule' box footer; crisp set symbol (Darkness Ablaze flame). High confidence in authenticity.
Flaws to Note
Significant top-to-bottom centering bias (bottom border is noticeably thinner). Card appears to be stored in a ringed binder page without a penny sleeve, which often leads to surface micro-scratches and slight corner whitening.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (lowest fees for small cards using eBay Standard Envelope), TCGPlayer, or local card shop bulk buy-lists.
Selling Tips
This card is not a candidate for professional grading as the grading fee ($15+) exceeds the card's market value. Best sold as part of a lot or via 'eBay Standard Envelope' to keep shipping costs under $1.00.
