COLLECTOR'S BREAKDOWN: MEDITIE - STELLAR CROWN (ILLUSTRATION RARE) [SCR DE 153/142]
A German-language Pokémon TCG card featuring Meditite (Meditie) in a lush jungle setting. This 'Illustration Rare' (IR) variant showcases full-bleed artwork by Yuriko Akase, depicting the Pokémon in a tranquil, meditative state hanging from a vine. The card is professionally entombed in a Beckett Grading Services (BGS) 'Gold Label' slab, featuring the classic subgrade breakdown on the inner flip.

Meaning Through Time

The gamification of mindfulness through creature-based combat and collection.
CARD HISTORY & PRINT RUNS
COLLECTOR INTEL
Meditie is the German name for Meditite, derived from 'meditieren' (to meditate).
Illustration Rares like this one have a much lower pull rate than standard cards, typically appearing only once or twice in a 36-pack booster box.
HOW SCARCE IS IT?
Genuine antiques with fewer examples on the market. Named makers, documented provenance, or early production examples.
Typical Characteristics
- Limited production
- Named makers
- Growing collector demand
Confidence Factors
- Modern card in a high-security professional Beckett slab
- Holographic patterns and font kerning match known German SCR set standards
- BGS serial number 0018014763 follows standard Beckett nomenclature
GRADING EXPERT'S TAKE
Trading Card Market Analyst
The identification is near-certain due to the presence of a professional grading slab with a verifiable serial number and clear images of the set identifiers.
KEY EVIDENCE
- 1BGS Serial 0018014763 verifies the card in the Beckett database.
- 2Full-art 'Illustration Rare' texture visible under light.
- 3German SCR (Stellar-Expansion) set-code visible at bottom left.
- 49.5 Gem Mint gold label indicates premium preservation status.
WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY
- →Verify the serial number on the Beckett (BGS) online registry for final confirmation.
- →Store in a slab sleeve (graded card sleeve) to prevent the acrylic case from scratching.
CONDITION & GRADE
Condition
Professionally graded BGS 9.5 (Gem Mint). Subgrades: Centering 9, Corners 9.5, Edges 9.5, Surface 10. The 9 centering subgrade is the bottleneck preventing a 'Pristine 10' grade.
Surface
Holographic foil finish with a textured surface typical of modern Illustration Rares; BGS 'Surface 10' indicates a flawless factory finish without print lines or scratches.
Weight & feel
The slabbed unit feels substantial and rigid, typical of the thick Beckett acrylic holder which provides superior UV and physical protection compared to standard sleeves.
