FA/PIPLUP | 2019 POKEMON SUN & MOON COSMIC ECLIPSE 239 | COSMIC ECLIPSE-SECRET | PSA NM-MT 8

PSA Graded Card - Certification #109997542 - Grade: NM-MT 8

This card features a vibrant, full-art illustration of the Pokémon Piplup alongside its Trainer, Dawn, from the Pokémon franchise. The background is stylized with soft gradients and light textures, making the characters pop. The edges have a yellow border, standard for English Pokémon cards of this era, and the text box includes a blend of blue and black colors for clarity. This specific card is a Secret Rare, indicated by its card number (239/236, where the numerator exceeds the denominator), making it rarer than standard cards in the set. The card is also a Full Art variant, with the artwork extending across the entire card, not confined to a small frame. It features a holofoil (holographic) finish over the entire card surface, which is typical of Full Art and Secret Rare Pokémon cards. Observing condition from the slabbed image, the card appears to be in near mint-to-mint (NM-MT 8) condition, per PSA grading. The PSA label and certification number are clearly visible. Illustrator credit: Tomomi Kaneko. The historical context is significant because Cosmic Eclipse was the final English main expansion in the Sun & Moon era, and Secret Rares such as this Piplup are highly sought after by collectors. Distinctive identifiers include its Secret Rare numbering, holographic full artwork, and the combination of Piplup with its iconic Trainer.
