Pokémon Piplup #042 PSA 10 – MEP Black Star Promo

For dedicated collectors and enthusiasts, we present an official, graded Pokémon TCG promo card: Piplup #042 from MEP Black Star Promos (the Mega Evolution era), encapsulated and graded as PSA 10 Gem Mint. This card is a single English promo card, not part of regular expansion sets, but issued as an exclusive Black Star Promo under The Pokémon Company's official license.

About the card: identity and collector status

Piplup #042 is part of the Mega Evolution Black Star Promos — a promo series noted for distinctive artwork and holofoil details. The card is illustrated by Saboteri and appears as a holofoil Black Star Promo with English text. It is especially popular among collectors focusing on the First Partner theme and the Mega Evolution series, where Piplup from the Sinnoh region holds a special place.

As a promo, this card was not pulled from boosters but distributed separately as part of the promo series. That makes it a sought-after item for collectors aiming to complete their Mega Evolution Base Set or to expand their collection of graded cards.

A PSA 10 grading means the card shows no visible flaws, with sharp corners, a clean surface, and optimal centering according to PSA's criteria.
