It is a PSA 9 Mint in the original PSA slab (cert 28947077).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEX Sandstorm is an early EX-era set built around Hoenn, and Sableye is one of its signature holos. This is a 60 HP Basic Darkness Pokémon illustrated by Hajime Kusajima, with two attacks: Supernatural, which lets you look at your opponent's hand and use the effect of a Supporter you find there, and Dark Bind, which discards a Darkness Energy to Paralyze the Defending Pokémon and deal 20.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly EX holos are known for surface wear on the foil, and condition shows most clearly in the holo pattern, centering and edges.

On the regular holo the art window carries the foil. On the reverse foil the art stays flat and the foil runs through the border and text area. They are tracked as separate variants with separate populations, so confirm the variant on the PSA label before you compare against any sold comp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow scarce is a PSA 10 on this card?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly 19 PSA 10s out of 303 graded PSA 7 and up, about 6%, while 102 PSA 9s make up roughly 34% of that group. The 10 is the genuine scarcity tier, so look at recent sold comps for both grades to see what the spread is worth to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat should I inspect on an early EX holo?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoil surface first: fine scratching and print lines show under angled light and are the most common reason a copy misses a 10. Then centering, corners and edge whitening on the back.
