Boss’s Orders (#256/217) from the Ascended Heroes set, ultra rare, in raw near mint condition. This one’s a full art supporter that pops with detail. The artwork features a commanding figure in dramatic pose, surrounded by swirling energy patterns, and the holo catches light like crazy, giving it that subtle shimmer when you tilt it just right. As a trainer card, no HP here—it’s all about the effect: you play it to switch one of your opponent’s benched Pokémon with their active one. Simple, but it can flip a match on its head. Short and punchy, right? Released back in 2022 as part of this special high-class pack reprint series, Ascended Heroes pulled together fan-favorite cards with fresh full art twists. Printing quirks show up sometimes, like off-centering on the borders or slight foil curling from the factory stock, especially on these ultra rares that got pushed out in limited runs. Folks hunting raws often spot minor print lines in the holo layer, but this copy dodges most of that noise. I’ve seen plenty where the alignment drifts left or right, making perfect 50/50 centering a bit of a hunt. Raw condition wise, the corners are sharp with no dings or rounding, just clean points that hold up under scrutiny. Edges show zero whitening—smooth black borders all around, no chips or fuzz from handling. Surface is pristine, free of scratches, scuffs, or those pesky hairline marks that sneak in during packing; the card stock feels thick and sturdy, typical for these premium prints. Holo flash is vibrant, with that foil bleed extending into the art without overwhelming it, creating a nice depth when light hits. Overall, it’s a solid raw piece that avoided the common pitfalls of its print run. Sleeve it up for your binder or let it ride solo in a top loader—either way, it’s ready for the table.
