Relicanth 040/189 — Darkness Ablaze (2020)

Description

Condition & grading Near Mint, ungraded. Card has been kept sleeved and stored; overall surface and print are crisp with bright colors and a clean gloss. Only very minor handling signs are visible under close inspection (tiny edge/print impressions at the top-left rim in the photos), consistent with a near‑mint description. Notable features This is the standard (non‑foil) Relicanth from the Darkness Ablaze set (card number 040/189). The card shows the uncommon diamond rarity symbol at the lower left of the numbering. Artwork by MAHOU gives this Relicanth a distinctive, atmospheric illustration that collectors of artist prints and set completers appreciate. Artist, set & foil status Illustrator: MAHOU. Set: Darkness Ablaze (2020). This particular print is non‑holo/non‑foil (regular art card), not a reverse holo or special variant. Meta playability & collectible value As an uncommon basic from the Darkness Ablaze expansion, this Relicanth is not a staple in competitive formats but holds value for set completion, artist collectors, and players building themed fossil-style decks. Its 2020 print and clear MAHOU artwork make it appealing to collectors who prioritize art and set continuity. Other observations Card front/back centering appears good in the provided photos; corners look sharp for an ungraded near‑mint example. The printed text (moves: Fossil Search / Surf) and set numbering (040/189) are clear and legible. No obvious creases, bends, or surface scratches are visible in the supplied images. Sold ungraded; buyers seeking a professional grade can request additional hi‑res photos for submission purposes.
