Collector interest and gameplay relevance
Pikachu ex #277/217 SIR is recognized as one of the more sought-after SIR cards in the Ascended Heroes set among collectors. Although the SIR variant is primarily collected for its art and rarity, it’s based on a card that is also used in tournament play—especially because of the combination of the Resolute Heart ability and the powerful Topaz Bolt attack.
Product information and language
This product consists of a single graded card (slab), without accessories. The card is, according to several listings, presumed to be English, but the language cannot be verified 100% without physical inspection. For collectors who prioritize condition, authenticity, and documented rarity, this PSA 10 slab is an excellent choice.
