Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
Raw market value is estimated between $80 to $120 USD. Graded PSA 10 value can range higher depending on current market fluctuations for chase cards from Surging Sparks.
Recent Sales
Recent sales reflect strong demand for Pikachu chase cards from the Surging Sparks expansion, with raw copies frequently trading near the $90-$110 range.
Condition Details
Card is being held loosely in hand without a sleeve or top loader, risking surface and edge wear. Front centering appears relatively well-aligned, though exact border measurements cannot be fully verified from the angle. No obvious creases, major scratches, or edge whitening are immediately visible, but minor micro-scratches on the foil surface cannot be ruled out without closer inspection.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended for professional grading (such as PSA or BGS) given its high value as a chase card, provided back condition and surface are pristine under closer inspection. A potential PSA 10 grade would significantly increase the card's market value.
Card Description
HP 200. Tera type. Ability: Resolute Heart - If this Pokémon has full HP and would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, it is not Knocked Out, and its remaining HP becomes 10. Attack: Topaz Bolt (300) - Discard 3 Energy from this Pokémon. Weakness: Metal (x2), Resistance: none, Retreat: 1.
Notable Features
Features the Stellar Tera crown artwork with crystallized jewels, full gold etched texturing characteristic of ultra-rare secret/special illustration gold cards from the Scarlet & Violet era.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic based on the correct font styling, gold foil texture lines running vertically and horizontally, proper copyright text at the bottom, and accurate set numbering for Surging Sparks 247/191. Handling the card raw without a protective sleeve is discouraged for long-term preservation.
