PSA Graded Card - Certification #120740636 - Grade: MINT 9

This is a 2023 Japanese promo card featuring Detective Pikachu, released as part of a special pre-order bonus for the game 'Detective Pikachu Returns'. The artwork depicts Pikachu in detective attire, holding a magnifying glass, and riding an Arcanine through a colorful, illustrated cityscape. Japanese text is present throughout, with the promo and copyright lines at the bottom. The background is vibrant, combining brick and urban elements with foliage, and the overall design is consistent with Japanese promo releases. The card features a traditional Pokemon promo silver border and foil effect, with a multi-color, almost pixel-paint style. The PSA-graded slab indicates the card is in Mint 9 condition, with sharp corners, no visible print lines, and no whitening observed. The SV-P promo symbol and the numbering '098/SV-P' can be found at the lower left. This card is notable as a tie-in to a highly anticipated Nintendo Switch game and was only available through specific pre-order events, making it relatively hard to find outside Japan.
