Provenance

Where it came from

The Archeops SWSH272 card was released in 2023 as part of the Sword & Shield Black Star Promos set, serving as a promotional inclusion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. These promotional cards are frequently distributed alongside specific merchandise, such as blister packs or seasonal collection boxes, designed to highlight particular Pokémon outside of the standard expansion releases.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, whose work is characterized by vibrant, dynamic poses that capture the prehistoric nature of the Fossil Pokémon Archeops. As a promo card, it occupies a specific niche for collectors focused on completing the Black Star Promo series, which functions as a chronological catalog of special releases throughout the Sword & Shield era.
