IRON VALIANT ex | 2023 POKEMON PAR EN-PARADOX RIFT 249 | SPECIAL ILLUSTRATION RARE | PSA NM-MT 8

PSA Graded Card - Certification #121535265 - Grade: NM-MT 8

This is a visually striking Pokemon trading card featuring Iron Valiant ex from the Scarlet & Violet: Paradox Rift set. Design elements include full-art alternate artwork by kantaro, showcasing Iron Valiant ex in a dynamic, colorful landscape with high detail and a prominent holographic finish across the card. The card integrates silver borders, a sparkling holo pattern, and unique texturing (common to Special Illustration Rare cards). The "Future" mechanic, ability (Tachyon Bits), and attack (Laser Blade) are clearly displayed. The exact parallel/variant is 'Special Illustration Rare', denoted by a gold star and card numbering past the standard set. Condition (PSA 8) appears excellent: sharp corners, good centering, minor surface/edge imperfections possibly visible. Unique identifiers include set code (PAREN), illustrator credit (kantaro), card number 249/182, and the prominent EX and Future mechanics. Distinguishing features include the full-art alternate illustration, intricate holofoil pattern, and being part of the highly-coveted Special Illustration Rare subset in this modern Scarlet & Violet expansion.
