Description
This is a Victini V Black Star Promo card (SWSH104) featuring the Victory Pokemon wrapped in a dynamic fire swirl illustration. As a V card, it features a unique holofoil finish and powerful attacks like Spreading Flames and Energy Burst. The card originates from the V Powers Tin released during the Sword & Shield era.
Key Features
Authentic Black Star Promo designation; exclusive artwork not found in main booster sets; popular Mythical Pokemon; high-gloss 'V' mechanic holofoil.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct font kerning for 'Victini V'; official Pokemon copyright dates and 'SWSH104' collector number; appropriate holofoil sheen; textured border elements match factory production. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
The card is currently stored in a loose binder page without a penny sleeve, which increases the risk of surface scratches. Visual centering is slightly skewed toward the right margin. Minor corner softening is possible due to binder wear.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, TCGPlayer, or local card shops. For trade value, Pokemon-specific Facebook groups are highly effective.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, it is not recommended to grade this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10 for a personal collection. Sell it as part of a 'lot' or via TCGPlayer to minimize shipping overhead. Always use a penny sleeve and top loader for shipping.
