Price: $14.38
Cynthia’s Ambition from the S-Chinese CS5aC set, clocking in at 148/127 as a Super Rare holo, and we’re talking a solid raw copy here with that fresh-out-of-pack vibe. The artwork shows Cynthia standing tall with her signature calm intensity, Lucario by her side in a dynamic pose that pops against the starry background—holo foil scatters light in all directions, giving it a subtle glow without overwhelming the details. As a Supporter card, no HP to worry about, but the text boils down to drawing until you have 5 cards in hand, or bump it to 8 if none of your Pokémon got KO’d last turn—straightforward hand refresh that fits right into control decks or setups needing quick recovery.
This one’s from the 2022 Chinese printing wave, tied to the Brilliant Stars era vibes but with that regional twist in card stock and holo patterns. You know how these international releases go—sometimes the centering skews a tad off on the borders, especially with the full-art borders pushing the edges, and the holo sheet can show minor factory waves if you’re picky. Raw quirks often include light print lines on the back, common in high-volume runs, but nothing that detracts from playability. In this copy, corners are sharp with no dings, just the tiniest whisper of wear from initial handling—think factory fresh but not sealed perfection. Edges hold up clean, no whitening or chipping, surface is smooth without scratches, and that holo flash? It catches the eye nicely under shop lights, swirling around Cynthia’s figure like she’s about to drop some wisdom. Centering looks about 60/40 top-bottom, pretty standard for these, with the foil aligned well enough to avoid any awkward cuts.
Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
