# Eiscue (Japanese) #041 — S8b: VMAX Climax

## Summary

Eiscue sits at the plain end of VMAX Climax, a regular holo-free pull that belongs to the supporting cast beside the set's big VMAX chase cards. The artwork has the penguin Pokémon diving through a blue splash, ice chunks flying around it against a bright, cool palette. Japan received this Japanese edition in December 2021, a couple of months before the same card reached English players in Brilliant Stars, which makes it a cheap, early-arriving pickup. A $0.19 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 guides at about $36 against $65 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
