Arceus V (Full Art) Holo Ultra Rare SWSH09: Brilliant Stars 165/172 NM
Price: $14.00
Arceus V from the SWSH Black Star Promos, numbered SWSH09, clocks in as an ultra rare in raw condition. This one’s a full art holo, pulling from the Brilliant Stars vibes but dropped as a promo in those special boxes back in 2022. The artwork shows Arceus looming large in a cosmic swirl, all majestic with that mythical creator energy, and the holo pattern catches light in a subtle starry burst that shifts as you tilt it.
On the card text side, it’s a Basic Pokémon V, Colorless type with 220 HP. Its Ability is Starbirth—during your turn, search your deck for up to 2 cards and put them into your hand, then shuffle. Attacks include Trinity Charge for three Colorless energy, letting you attach up to three basic Energy cards from deck to your Pokémon V, shuffle after. And Power Edge for three Colorless, dealing 130 damage straight up. Solid utility for deck building, especially in formats where energy acceleration matters.
This promo ties into the Sword & Shield era, specifically the Brilliant Stars expansion released in February 2022, but SWSH09 came via products like the Arceus V Figure Collection. Raw copies often show up with that classic promo card stock—thicker feel, but watch for centering quirks; it’s not uncommon to see the borders a tad off on the left or right, especially on full arts where the image bleeds edge to edge. Print lines can sneak in on the holo foil too, those faint factory marks that don’t kill the look but are there if you squint.
For raw condition details, let’s talk a clean copy: corners stay sharp, no dings from handling, edges clean without whitening—maybe a whisper of silvering if it’s been thumbed through packs. Surface is pristine, no scratches marring that full art spread, and the holo flash pops without haze, giving Arceus that ethereal glow under lights. Centering might hover around 60/40 on a good pull, borders even enough to not distract.
Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
