PSA Graded Card - Certification #112571336 - Grade: MINT 9

This card features a full-art, alternate artwork of Squirtle, rendered in a colorful, hand-drawn style with detailed, whimsical background imagery showing Squirtle playing in a blue kiddie pool surrounded by Pidgey. The surface is holographic with a textured finish, typical of Illustration Rares. Borders are silver with minimal framing to emphasize the expanded artwork. The lower left corner bears the Illustration Rare 'G' rarity symbol, along with the 'SCR EN' (Scarlet/Violet English) set code. The card was slabbed and graded Mint 9 by PSA, indicating sharp corners, near-perfect centering, and no major surface flaws visible to the naked eye. Special printing techniques used include parallel sparkle foil and etching to highlight the Illustration Rare variant. The card is distinguished by its unique, narrative illustration (by Saboteri) and its secret rare numbering (148/142) that signifies its special rarity and chase-card status within the set.
