Tulip 259/182

This is Tulip, card 259/182 from Paradox Rift, the 2023 Scarlet and Violet era set. Tulip is a Trainer character from the Paldea region, and this card gives her the Special Illustration Rare treatment, one of the top tiers in the modern rarity ladder.

Special Illustration Rares are among the most desirable cards in any set. They present the character in a full art scene with an extended border and detailed artwork, telling a small story rather than offering a plain portrait. Trainer cards at this rarity are especially popular, since they combine character appeal with showcase quality illustration.

The 259/182 numbering runs well past the base set size of 182, confirming this Tulip belongs to the secret rare range that closes out Paradox Rift. As a sought after supporter card with standout artwork, it is a favourite among collectors who enjoy character focused chase cards and a fine display piece from the Scarlet and Violet era.
