About This Card
Unown V from Sword & Shield: Silver Tempest is one of the most conceptually unique cards in the modern Pokémon TCG — a card that turns the Unown's signature mystery into a genuine win condition. The Half Art V design presents a dynamic formation of Unown characters bursting forward from a stylized dark graphic background, rendered by N-DESIGN Inc. in the clean, graphic-forward style that defines the V card era. The standard V Holofoil finish delivers a smooth, mirror-like glossy surface across the artwork frame that catches light crisply and makes the card pop in hand or on display.
What makes Unown V genuinely special is Victory Symbol — an attack that wins the game outright if used when you have exactly 1 Prize card remaining. It is one of only a handful of cards in the entire TCG history to feature an alternate win condition, and that distinction alone gives it a collector and novelty premium that transcends its competitive utility. Shady Stamp's 30 damage plus Confusion for a single Psychic Energy provides a useful early-game disruption tool, while Victory Symbol's three Colorless Energy cost makes it splashable in virtually any deck willing to build around the one-Prize-remaining trigger.
This copy has been professionally graded by CGC and awarded a grade of 9 — Mint, reflecting a card with strong eye appeal, well-centered artwork, clean surfaces, and sharp corners with only the most minor allowable imperfections. A CGC 9 represents a premium, display-ready copy of one of the most mechanically unique V cards ever printed, and commands a meaningful premium over raw examples in the market.
