Mesprit 204/191

This is Mesprit from Surging Sparks, card number 204/191, an Illustration Rare. Because the first number is higher than the set total of 191, this card sits beyond the main numbered set as one of the special art cards collectors seek. Illustration Rares place the Pokemon in a detailed illustrated scene that fills the card, rather than the standard frame, and they have become one of the most popular categories in modern sets.

Mesprit is one of the Lake Guardians, a trio with a strong following among collectors, so seeing it rendered in the Illustration Rare style adds appeal beyond the set itself. The format gives the artist room to build a scene around the Pokemon, which is a large part of why these cards are so collected.

For anyone completing the Surging Sparks Illustration Rare lineup or collecting the Lake Guardians, Mesprit 204/191 is a fitting addition to the display.
