Pokémon TCG Palafin ex Special Art Rare card

This product is a Japanese-language Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) card featuring the character Palafin ex in a Special Art Rare (SAR) printing. It was released in 2024 as part of the SV8a Terastal Festival set in Japan. The card has been professionally authenticated and graded by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), a world leader in third-party grading for collectibles, and is encased in a protective sonically-sealed holder.

The Pokémon brand was originally conceived in Japan by Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori of Game Freak. Since its inception in 1996, the Trading Card Game has grown into a global phenomenon. While English cards are often printed in the United States, Japanese-origin cards like this one are manufactured in Japan to distinct quality specifications. The brand today is managed by a complex partnership between three Japanese companies, known collectively as the owners of The Pokémon Company.
