[How does authenticity detection work?](/fake-art-detection)

## GRADING EXPERT'S TAKE

Trading Card Market Analyst

Card Specialist

Clear high-resolution images allow for definitive identification of the set code and condition indicators. The user's authoritative context regarding the size aligns perfectly with visual markers.

### KEY EVIDENCE

-   1 Set code SWSH198 confirms the 2022 Pikachu V Box origin. 
-   2 Copyright line 2022 Pokémon/Nintendo/Creatures/GAME FREAK matches authentic formatting. 

### WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY

-   → Measure dimensions to confirm it is the 'Post-2020' jumbo size (approx 5.75 x 8 inches). 

## CONDITION & GRADE

PSA 9-10 (Jumbo Equivalent) 

### Grading breakdown

Centered alignment appears excellent; corners are square with no visible impact damage; surface gloss is uniform without horizontal factory lines.

### Condition

The card appears well-centered with sharp corners and no visible surface abrasions. The edges show no signs of whitening or 'chipping' commonly found on jumbo cards due to their lack of protective sleeves.

## TRADING CARD MARKET VALUE
