What to know

Gardevoir ex with special illustration by Jiro Sasumo: the Pokémon in a flowering meadow, in clear light, in SIR 245/198 from the Scarlet & Violet base set, released on 31 March 2023. The first SIR of Gardevoir and one of the signature cards of the era's first set; also printed in Italian, here the English printing. The base set's print run is huge and packs are still around, but only 39% of graded copies get a 10: 7,451 out of 19,014. The light colours hide micro-scratches, while the centring of the 2023 set is often off and the edges come out of packs with silver lines. Check before grading.
