## SANDYGAST - PALDEA EVOLVED (ILLUSTRATION RARE) \[214/193\]: IDENTIFICATION

This Illustration Rare variant of Sandygast features an evocative, non-traditional art style by Tomokazu Komiya, depicting the Pokemon centered in a dark, textured sandbox cluttered with toy cars. The card is printed with a full-art holofoil finish extending to the borders, characteristic of the Scarlet & Violet era 'Illustration Rare' (IR) sub-set. It displays a Psychic typing, 90 HP, and two attacks: Mumble and Mud Shot. The bottom left corner clearly displays the 'G' regulation mark and the set code 'PAL 214/193' with a gold star rarity symbol.

## CROSS-CULTURAL PARALLELS

### Where This Object Echoes

Japanese Folklore Edo Period to Present 

Sandygast echoes the concept of Tsukumogami, spirits that inhabit everyday items—in this case, a sandcastle.

### Ritual & Ceremonial Use

-   • Modern TCG collecting involves 'master set' completion, a ritualized form of taxonomical assembly popularized in the 1990s. 

### Meaning Through Time

2023-Present 

Transition from purely competitive cards to 'Illustration Rares' which prioritize artistic expression over gameplay utility.

## SET RELEASE & PRINT RUN

Released in June 2023 as part of the Paldea Evolved expansion (the second main set of the Scarlet & Violet series), this card represents a shift in Pokemon TCG aesthetics toward diverse artistic interpretations. The artist, Tomokazu Komiya, is a veteran illustrator known for his primitive, ... 

Released in June 2023 as part of the Paldea Evolved expansion (the second main set of the Scarlet & Violet series), this card represents a shift in Pokemon TCG aesthetics toward diverse artistic interpretations. The artist, Tomokazu Komiya, is a veteran illustrator known for his primitive, hand-painted style that has appeared in the TCG since the Neo Genesis set in 2000. Sandygast itself was introduced in the Sun & Moon era (2016) as a Ghost/Ground-type inspired by Japanese folklore regarding possessed objects.

## GRADING EXPERT'S TAKE

Trading Card Market Analyst

Card Specialist

The card is clearly identifiable by set code and artwork; however, back-side condition and surface details are obscured by the binder sleeve.

## CONDITION & GRADE

PSA 8-9 

### Grading breakdown

Visually sharp corners and clean edges are apparent; however, the left-to-right centering appears slightly off-ratio (approx 65/35), which typically prevents a Gem Mint 10 grade.

### Condition

The card appears to be in Excellent to Near Mint condition while housed in a protective binder page. The centering looks slightly heavy toward the left border, though no significant surface scratches or corner whitening are visible through the plastic sleeve.

## TRADING CARD MARKET VALUE

$3 - $8
