Marnie’s Pride – 171/172 – Pokemon Brilliant Stars Sword Shield Full Art Card NM
Price: $10.00
Marnie’s Pride from the Brilliant Stars set, ultra rare full art trainer, sitting here in clean raw condition. This one’s a supporter card that lets you attach a basic Energy from your discard pile right to one of your benched Pokémon—simple but handy in a pinch during those tight matches. No HP on this, obviously, since it’s not a Pokémon, but it fits right into decks that need some energy recycling without much fuss.
The artwork captures Marnie looking determined with her Morpeko hanging out, all in that vibrant full art style where the colors blend smooth against the foil background. It’s got that subtle holo sheen that shifts when you tilt it, making the details pop without overwhelming the eye.
Brilliant Stars dropped back in 2022, wrapping up the Sword & Shield era with its mix of VSTARs and this Trainer Gallery subset. These full arts from the gallery often come with solid card stock, but raw copies can show minor centering quirks—maybe a slight off-set on the borders if you’re picky about symmetry. Print quality’s generally crisp, though some pulls have those faint roller marks on the holo if you look close under light. Edges hold up well compared to older sets, less prone to whitening right out of the pack.
Speaking of condition, this raw example has corners that are nice and pointed, no dings or bends to speak of. Edges are smooth all around, free from the usual chipping you see on handled cards. Surface is clean, no scratches or scuffs marring the art, and the holo flash is still bright, catching reflections without any clouding or peel. Centering looks about 60/40 top to bottom, pretty standard for the print run, with no major whitening or print defects jumping out.
It’s one of those cards that just feels right in a binder page, or maybe straight into a deck for some casual play.
