23 - Combuskien #9 "Winner," Nintendo Black Star Promos [ITA] 2003

Combuskien #9 "Winner," Nintendo Black Star Promos [ITA] 2003 An extraordinary piece of competitive history from the EX era in Italian, this Combusken 009 (illustrated by Kouki Saitou) features the prestigious “VINCITORE” stamp hot-stamped within the illustration panel. Awarded exclusively to the winners of official tournaments in 2003, the Italian-language “Winner” stamped cards have an extremely limited print run, making them extremely rare today and particularly difficult to find in mint condition due to the notable fragility of the edges and corners typical of that era. Graded an exceptional 9.5 Mint+ by AiGrading and housed in a shock-resistant hard case, this specimen boasts impeccable consistency in quality, as evidenced by a sub-grade of 9.5 in nearly all key categories: surface (front and back), edges (front and back), corners (front and back), and back centering. A true elite gem for collectors of competitive and historic promotional rarities. AiGrading Report: Combuskien #9 “Winner”
