Marnie from the SWSH Black Star Promos, specifically the SWSH120 print, promo rarity, in raw condition. This one’s a full art Supporter with Marnie chilling on a bench with her Morpeko hanging upside down, that classic moody vibe from the Galar region. The artwork pops with her signature black and white outfit against a colorful background, and the holo catches light like crazy when you tilt it just right, giving off that subtle shine without overdoing it.
Key text on this card keeps it simple as a Supporter—no type or HP here. The effect reads: Shuffle your hand and put it on the bottom of your deck. If you put any cards there, draw 5 cards. Then, your opponent does the same with their hand and draws 4 cards if they put any down. It’s all about disrupting hands and resetting the draw, a staple for control decks back in the day. Short and to the point, makes for some tricky plays if you’re into that style of game.
This promo dropped in 2021 as part of the Marnie Premium Tournament Collection box, tied to the Sword & Shield era. Printing-wise, these Black Star Promos used the standard card stock from that period—thick enough, with a slight gloss finish. Common raw quirks include centering that’s often a bit off, especially on the full art borders; you’ll see some where the image shifts left or right by a few millimeters. Edges can show factory roughness sometimes, and the holo pattern might have minor swirling from production. Not uncommon for promos to have print lines or tiny dots on the back too, just how they came out of the packs.
When checking raw condition, start with the corners—they should be pointed without dings or bends from handling. Edges need to be clean, no whitening or chips along the sides, which can happen if it’s been shuffled a lot. Surface is key; look for no scratches, scuffs, or whitening on the front art, and the back should be free of marks. That holo flash ought to be even across the foil areas, no dull spots or peeling. Overall, a clean raw copy feels solid in hand, with no warping or creasing to worry about. Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
