Pokemon Snorlax 151 ETB Illustration Rare Promo SVP en 051 PSA 10 Gem Mint
Price: $260.00
Snorlax Illustration Rare Promo, from the SVP Black Star Promos, marked as SVP 051 in English, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 Gem Mint slab. This one’s the hefty sleeper that came bundled with those Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Boxes, a special drop that collectors eyed for its unique vibe.
The artwork nails it with Snorlax dozing off in a forest clearing, belly up and totally oblivious, surrounded by little Pokémon peeking in. That lazy expression just captures the essence, like it’s saying “five more minutes” to the world.
On the card text, it’s a Basic Colorless type with 150 HP. No Ability here, but attacks include Body Slam at three Colorless for 100 damage with a chance to Paralyze, and a beefy Collapse for four Colorless doing 150 while benching itself asleep. Simple, tanky stuff that fits the ‘lax perfectly.
This promo hit in 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet era kickoff, tied to the Pokémon Center’s exclusive ETB releases. What stands out is how it was only available through those boxes, making it a bit of a chase for folks who missed the initial wave— not your standard pack pull, more like a reward for grabbing the full kit. It ties into the Illustration Rare trend, where artists got to flex on familiar ‘mons with fresh, scenic takes.
Slab-wise, this PSA 10 is crisp all around, with centering that lines up dead even, no whitening on those edges, and surfaces smooth as a fresh pack. Eye appeal is high thanks to the vibrant colors popping against that holo border— it’s got that subtle shine without overwhelming the art. Pop reports show these in 10s aren’t flooding the market yet, with estimates around a couple hundred graded at that level last I checked, but they’re trickling in as more boxes get cracked.
I’d tuck this one in a display case next to some classic Kanto heavies, just to watch it nod off eternally.
