PSA 10 – Arceus VSTAR 123/172 *METAL* SWSH Arceus UPC – Pokemon
Price: $327.32
The Arceus VSTAR metal card from the Arceus VSTAR Ultra Premium Collection, promo rarity, PSA 10. This one’s a hefty metal version of the 123/172 from Brilliant Stars, but with that premium shine only the UPC delivers.
Artwork nails Arceus mid-creation, all glowing with cosmic energy against a starry void—simple but commanding, like the myth Pokémon itself just decided to show up.
Colorless type, 280 HP. Ability: Starbirth, search your deck for up to 2 Pokémon Tools and attach ’em. Attacks: Trinity Nova at 200 damage, grabs 3 basic Energy from deck to your Pokémon. VSTAR Power: Star Portal, attach up to 3 basic Energy from discard to your V Pokémon. Solid kit for deck-building chaos, letting you toolbox on the fly.
Dropped in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era’s big finale push. The UPC stands out ’cause it’s not your standard pack pull—this metal edition came bundled in a collector’s box with etched cards, sleeves, and boosters. It’s a nod to Arceus as the original creator, fitting the lore with that exclusive heavy-metal twist. Folks chased these for the novelty, especially since metal cards feel like trophies straight out of the box. Brilliant Stars had plenty of Arceus love, but this printing amps the premium factor without overdoing it.
In the slab, centering hits dead on at 10/10, edges crisp as fresh print, no whitening or dings—pure eye appeal with that metallic gleam catching light from every angle. Surfaces flawless, no scratches on the foil. Pop report shows around 50 in PSA 10 last I checked, keeping it scarce among graded metals. Not many make the cut due to the weight and material quirks during grading.
I’d stash this in a display case next to my creation trio stuff, just for the subtle flex.
