20 - Grovyle #4 "Winner," Nintendo Black Star Promos [ITA] 2003

Grovyle #4 "Winner," Nintendo Black Star Promos [ITA] 2003 An extraordinary piece of competitive history from the EX era in Italian, this Grovyle 004 (illustrated by Midori Harada) features the exclusive “VINCITORE” (Winner) stamp from the Nintendo Black Star Promo series. Awarded only to the top players in official tournaments of that era, Italian “Winner” promo cards are extremely rare on the collector’s market, a scarcity made even more pronounced by the well-known susceptibility of the 2003 cards’ edges and corners to scratches and wear. Graded an exceptional 9.5 Mint+ by AiGrading and housed in its shock-resistant case, this specimen stands out for its outstanding condition, highlighted by sub-grades of a perfect 10 on the front edges and front corners, along with a 9.5 on the front surface. A true elite gem for collectors of historic promotional items and competitive rarities. AiGrading Report: Grovyle #4 “Winner”
