Pokemon Skarmory - 209/191 - SV08: Surging Sparks (SSP) PSA 10

The Skarmory 209/191 Illustration Rare from Pokémon TCG SV08: Surging Sparks — certified PSA 10 Gem Mint — is the definitive way to own one of the Scarlet & Violet era's most striking Steel-type pulls, locked in flawless condition.

Surging Sparks released November 8, 2024 as the eighth Scarlet & Violet expansion and the largest standard set of the entire Scarlet & Violet era at 252 cards — and it carries the deepest Illustration Rare lineup of any main set in the series. Numbered beyond the 191-card base at 209/191, Skarmory sits firmly in secret rare territory. The Illustration Rare designation means full-art, scene-based holofoil artwork that collectors actively chase over base variants, and the lower pull rate on IRs relative to standard rares keeps demand consistently above supply.

• Card: Skarmory — 209/191 | Illustration Rare | Holofoil
• Set: SV08: Surging Sparks (SSP) | Released November 8, 2024
• Type: Metal | Basic | 110 HP | Steel Wing attack
• Grade: PSA 10 Gem Mint — the highest grade PSA awards

Raw copies of this card trade in the $10–$12 range on the secondary market. The PSA 10 slab commands a meaningful premium — comparable PSA 10 Illustration Rares from this set routinely trade in the $30–$80+ range depending on the Pokémon depicted, with the grade multiplier doing the heavy lifting. Skarmory has a devoted fanbase with long franchise history, and the IR artwork elevates this well above the character's base or reverse holo treatments.

For the Surging Sparks set collector, the Skarmory IR PSA 10 fills a key slot in an IR run that is already one of the most collected in modern Pokémon TCG. The PSA slab guarantees the grade never changes — buy it now and it's a 10 forever.
