2009 POKEMON PLATINUM #27 GIRATINA PSA 10

Price: $700.00

Giratina from the Platinum set, a holo rare, slabbed in PSA 10. This one’s card #27 out of 127, and it captures that otherworldly vibe with Giratina emerging from the Distortion World, wings spread wide like it’s about to warp reality. That shadowy, ethereal pose hits hard, with the red accents popping against the dark background—classic Sinnoh legend energy.

On the card text, it’s a Basic Psychic type with 100 HP. No Ability here, but attacks include Strafe for 20 damage (you can switch it to the bench after), Heavy Impact for 60, and Dragon Claw for 80 if you’ve got the energy mix right. Weak to Darkness, resists Colorless by 20. Simple but solid for a legendary setup, especially in decks that play with bench manipulation.

Platinum dropped in 2009, kicking off the Platinum series after Diamond & Pearl. This printing stands out because it ties into the Giratina lore from Pokémon Platinum game, where it’s the star of the Distortion World. Not the Origin Forme version—that came later—but this one’s got that base form menace, and it was a chase card in packs back then, especially with the holo foil that shimmers under light. Collectors dug it for completing Sinnoh sets, and it fits right in with other legendaries like Dialga or Palkia from the era.

In the slab, PSA 10 means gem mint all around—edges sharp, surface flawless, no whitening. Centering’s likely dead on, maybe 50/50 or better, giving it killer eye appeal. The holo pattern really shines through the case without any haze. Pop-wise, from what I recall on PSA reports, there are around 150 or so in 10s, not flooded but not ultra-rare either. Makes for a clean display piece.

I’d keep this one on the shelf next to my other Platinum holos, just to remind me of those late-night pack openings.
