# Gutsy Pickaxe (Japanese) #133 — S12a: VSTAR Universe

## Summary

A pickaxe slices through a shower of orange sparks in the Japanese Gutsy Pickaxe, a close-up on one lone tool against a hazy green cavern wall, and the whole card carries a shimmering holographic pattern that suits the glint of struck metal. This reprint came out in December 2022 in VSTAR Universe, months after Astral Radiance carried the same Item in English, and as a plain Item in a set built around its chase cards it is best read as a reliable utility pull. A $0.12 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
