PSA 10 Ho-Oh GX SR 053/051 Full Art Holo Pokemon Card Japanese 2017 Gem Mint
Price: $545.00
Ho-Oh GX, from the Japanese SM11a Remix Bout set, super rare full art holo, slapped in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s numbered 053/051, the kind of chase card that turns heads in any binder flip.
The artwork captures Ho-Oh mid-flight, wings ablaze with that fiery rainbow glow, perched over a stormy scene that just pulls you in. It’s got this majestic vibe, like the legendary bird is about to unleash chaos.
On the text side, it’s a Fire-type GX with 190 HP. No ability here, but attacks pack heat: Sacred Fire flips a coin to burn one of your opponent’s Pokémon for 50, Phoenix Burn slams 180 but skips your next attack, and the GX move Fire Blast GX does 120 while discarding energies from your hand. Solid for burning through decks back in the day.
Remix Bout dropped in 2019, part of the Sun & Moon era’s later waves, blending remixed classics with new GX mechanics. This Japanese printing stands out for its full art treatment—sharper holo patterns and that exclusive SR border that English versions didn’t quite match. It’s from a set focused on tag team vibes and legendaries, making Ho-Oh a fitting powerhouse for fire builds or rainbow-themed collections.
In the slab, expect near-perfect centering on those edges, with vibrant colors popping under the case—no whitening or print lines to distract. Eye appeal is strong, that holo sheen reflecting like actual flames. Pop reports on these Japanese full arts are tough to pin down, but widely reported estimates put PSA 10s in the low dozens, given the set’s smaller print run and overseas grading trends.
I’d stash this one in a display case, maybe next to some other legendaries, just to admire how it ties a collection together.
