Reshiram ex 173/086 from the White Flare set, that’s the full art rarity we’re talking raw here, straight out of a pack or fresh from a box. Japanese prints like this one hit different, especially with that Scarlet & Violet era vibe mixing old legends into new formats. The artwork captures Reshiram mid-roar, wings spread wide against a fiery backdrop, and the full art treatment lets the flames spill over the borders, with the holo pattern adding this subtle glow that shifts when you tilt it just right. Not over-the-top, but it does catch the light in a way that makes you double-take.
On the card text side, it’s a Fire type with 180 HP. No Ability listed, but attacks include Outrage for 20 plus more if it’s damaged, and Brave Fire dealing 150 with a flip for self-burn. Basic ex rules apply, so two Prize cards when KO’d, and it’s got that Weakness to Water. Keeps it straightforward for decks built around energy acceleration or big hitters.
This set dropped around early 2024 in Japan, part of the SV block that reprints classics with fresh twists—White Flare focused on fire and light themes, pulling from Unova roots. Raw copies often show up with decent centering, maybe 60/40 on average due to the printing process, and the card stock feels thick, almost premium, but watch for those occasional miscuts on the holo foil. Edges can chip if handled rough, but clean ones hold up well.
For condition, we’re looking at near mint raw: corners pointed without dings, edges crisp and white with no whitening, surface free of scratches or print lines, and the holo flash pops evenly across the art without clouding. Centering’s solid top to bottom, maybe a hair off left-right, but nothing that screams factory flaw. That fresh holo snap when you flex it under a lamp? Still there, no fading.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it ride solo in a top loader—dealer’s choice.
