Pokémon Pikachu Illustration Rare 173/165 – Scarlet & Violet 151 – ACE 10 Graded Card

Up for sale is a Pokémon Pikachu Illustration Rare (173/165) from the Scarlet & Violet 151 expansion, professionally graded ACE 10 (Gem Mint).

Numbered 173/165, this card sits beyond the standard set list, marking it as a special Illustration Rare pull. Illustration Rare cards are highly sought after due to their detailed full-art artwork, lower pull rates and strong collector demand within modern Pokémon releases.

Pikachu remains the face of the Pokémon franchise and one of the most consistently demanded characters in the hobby. As part of the Scarlet & Violet 151 expansion — dedicated entirely to the original Kanto Pokédex — this Illustration Rare carries powerful nostalgic appeal and broad collector interest.

The full-art Illustration Rare treatment enhances the character-focused artwork, giving the card exceptional display presence when preserved in a professional slab. High-grade Pikachu cards consistently attract strong attention from both collectors and investors.

An ACE 10 grade confirms Gem Mint condition, reflecting outstanding centring, flawless surface quality, sharp corners and clean edges.

Professionally graded in the UK by ACE Grading, the card is sealed in an official tamper-evident protective slab to preserve its pristine condition long-term. A premium addition for collectors building 151 master sets, Pikachu collections, or high-grade Illustration Rare portfolios.
