Articuno SWSH282

Articuno SWSH282 is an English Promo card from the Sword and Shield era. The SWSH prefix and the promo number mark it as part of the Black Star Promo series, the cards handed out through special releases, collection boxes and other promotions rather than pulled from standard booster packs.

Articuno is one of the original legendary birds from the Kanto region, a long standing favourite that has appeared across many generations of the trading card game. Promo printings give well known Pokemon like this a distinct release outside the main sets, which is part of what makes them appealing to gather.

Collectors look for Black Star Promos to round out a themed Articuno collection or to track the promo cards from the Sword and Shield run, since these cards each tie back to a specific release. Mint copies with clean corners and strong centring are the ones most valued for binders and display.
