SWSH09: Brilliant Stars #171/172 Marnie’s Pride (Full Art)
Price: $11.99
Marnie from the SWSH Black Star Promos, numbered SWSH009, comes as a full art promo in raw condition. This one’s a trainer supporter card, no HP since it’s not a Pokémon, but it packs that classic disruption vibe. The artwork shows Marnie in her signature pose, with that brooding stare and the crowd in the background, all framed in a sleek full art style where the borders blend right into the scene.
Quick note on the art: the foil accents on her outfit and the stadium lights give it a subtle shine without overwhelming the details. As for the key text, it’s a supporter that says each player shuffles their hand and puts it on the bottom of their deck—if anyone did that, you draw 5 cards and your opponent draws 4. Simple shuffle and draw mechanic, great for messing with setups mid-game.
This promo dropped in 2020 as part of the Sword & Shield era promos, often bundled in those premium tournament collections. Raw copies from this printing can have quirky centering—sometimes the borders lean a tad left or right, and the card stock feels a bit thicker than standard sets, which helps with durability but watch for minor print lines on the back. It’s from the early SWSH wave, so you might spot slight variations in the holo pattern depending on the batch.
In terms of raw condition, we’re talking clean edges with no whitening, sharp corners that haven’t seen much shuffling abuse, and a surface free of scratches or dents. The holo flash on the full art pops nicely under light, highlighting Marnie’s expression without any clouding or foil scratches. Centering looks solid at about 60/40 top-bottom, pretty standard for these promos, and the back is pristine with that familiar Pokémon logo centered just right.
Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
