Reshiram ex Full Art from the Black & White series, tagged as a rare in the White Flare printing with number 173/086, sitting in near mint raw condition. This one’s got that classic full art spread, where the dragon’s fiery wings dominate the frame without any borders getting in the way. The holo pattern on those flames catches light in a way that makes the card pop when you tilt it just right, like embers flickering in a breeze.
On the card text side, it’s a Fire-type Pokémon ex with 180 HP, packing an Ability called Glinting Claw that lets you flip a coin for extra damage on attacks if it’s heads. Its main moves include Outrage for 30 damage plus more based on how beat up it is, and Brave Fire hitting for 150 but leaving 50 recoil on itself. Weak to Water, resists nothing, and retreat costs three energy—pretty standard for a powerhouse ex from that era.
This printing hails from the early 2010s Black & White wave, around 2012 specifically for the Japanese White Flare subset, which was part of the broader BW expansions that brought in ex mechanics and shiny variants. Raw copies from these sets often show up with minor centering quirks, like the artwork shifting a tad left or right, thanks to the mass production runs back then. Edges might have that subtle factory texture, and the card stock feels a bit thicker than modern stuff, holding up well over time if stored right.
In this NM raw state, the corners are sharp with maybe the tiniest ding from handling, edges show faint whitening if you squint but nothing major, and the surface is clean without scratches marring the foil. That holo flash is still vibrant, no clouding or dull spots to speak of, making it a solid piece for any binder.
Sleeve it up before the cat knocks it off the table—happens to the best of us.
