2022 POKEMON JPN SWORD & SHIELD STAR BIRTH #120 FULL ART/ARCEUS VSTAR PSA 10

Price: $75.00

Arceus VSTAR from Star Birth, full art rarity, slabbed PSA 10. This one’s the Japanese printing, card number 120 out of the set. You know, the kind that collectors spot from across the room.

Artwork on this pulls you in—Arceus floating there in a cosmic burst, all majestic with those golden rings and starry backdrop. It’s got that mythical vibe, like the creator Pokémon just decided to show up and rewrite the rules.

On the card text side, it’s a colorless type with 280 HP. VSTAR Power is Starbirth: during your turn, search your deck for up to two cards and shuffle afterward—handy for setup plays. Main attack is Trinity Nova at 200 damage; you search your deck for up to three basic Energy cards and attach them to your V Pokémon however you like. Weakness to fighting, no resistance, retreat cost of two. Solid all-rounder for decks that need flexibility.

Star Birth dropped in Japan back in January 2022, part of the Sword & Shield era. What makes this printing stand out is the full art treatment—clean lines, vibrant colors that pop under lights, and it’s from the set that introduced VSTAR mechanics properly. Compared to English versions, the Japanese foils have that subtle holo sheen without overwhelming the illustration. Collectors dig it for the origin feel, especially since Arceus ties into the lore as the god of Pokémon.

In a PSA 10 slab, you’re looking at gem mint perfection—centering spot-on, probably 9.5 or 10 subs across the board, edges crisp, surface flawless. Eye appeal is high with that expansive art taking up the whole card; no print lines or haze to distract. Pop reports I’ve seen estimate around 1,200 PSA 10s for this specific full art, but that’s just from memory and community chatter—always double-check if you’re hunting one.

I’d stash this in a display case next to other mythicals, let it anchor the shelf like the alpha it is.
