Two Dawn Supporter cards, one set, one card back — and a ¥7,194 gap between them. Both come from Inferno X (M2), released September 26, 2025, and both do the same thing on the battlefield. The difference in price comes down entirely to which alternate-art slot each one landed in.
Dawn (ヒカリ) is a Trainer character from the Sinnoh region games. Inferno X includes three Dawn Supporter printings in the same 116-card release — a regular Uncommon plus two chase-tier alternate arts, a Super Rare and a Special Art Rare, each with its own illustrator. This guide covers the two chase-tier prints we currently stock, what separates them, and the two PSA 10 singles we currently list out of Tokyo.
We list two PSA 10 Dawn singles from Inferno X: Dawn SR (106/080) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) currently listed at ¥6,567, and Dawn SAR (115/080) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) currently listed at ¥13,761. Each is a single listed copy — when one sells, it’s gone until we source another.
The Two Chase-Tier Dawn Prints from Inferno X
Inferno X also includes a regular-rarity Dawn (077/080, Uncommon) within the set’s base card count; this guide focuses on the two chase-tier alternate-art prints above it — the ones we currently stock as graded singles. Both come from the same set, released the same day, at the same base card number — only the rarity slot and illustrator differ.
| Card | Set / Number | Illustrator | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dawn SR | Inferno X (M2) 106/080 | Yuu Nishida | Currently listed at ¥6,567 (PSA 10) |
| Dawn SAR | Inferno X (M2) 115/080 | Atsushi Furusawa | Currently listed at ¥13,761 (PSA 10) |
Both cards are numbered above the set’s fractional denominator of 080, which lines up with how Japanese sets typically slot their alternate-art and secret-rare tier beyond the standard-numbered print run — Inferno X’s full release runs to 116 cards in total. Neither Dawn print sits inside that base 080 count, which is the first sign that both are chase-tier cards rather than common pulls, even before factoring in the price gap between them.
For the complete Inferno X set — every chase card, not just Dawn’s two Supporter prints — our Inferno X pull rates and best cards guide covers the full release.
Dawn as a Supporter Card: What the Effect Does
Dawn is a Trainer character tied to the Sinnoh region games — the setting introduced in the Diamond & Pearl generation, and one the Japanese TCG has revisited across multiple eras since. Like most named Trainer characters, Dawn’s card presence isn’t limited to a single release or a single printing within a release; Inferno X alone carries three Dawn Supporter prints (a regular Uncommon plus the SR and SAR chase versions covered here).
Both of her Inferno X chase-tier printings are Trainer — Supporter cards — the category of Trainer card a player can only use one of per turn. Functionally, the two prints are identical: both search your deck for a Basic Pokémon, a Stage 1 Pokémon, and a Stage 2 Pokémon — one of each, up to three cards — reveal them, add them to your hand, then shuffle your deck. The card text doesn’t change between the SR and the SAR; what changes is the artwork, the illustrator, and the rarity slot each one occupies in the set.
That’s a useful thing to know before you buy: picking between the SR and the SAR isn’t a functional decision for deckbuilding. It’s purely a question of which artwork and which price point you want on your shelf. The breakdown below covers each print individually, and the price-gap section further down explains why one costs more than double the other despite doing exactly the same thing in play.
Want to Pull Your Own Copy? Sealed Inferno X Boxes
If you’d rather chase a Dawn card straight from the source instead of buying a graded single, we carry sealed Inferno X (M2) booster boxes. Both the SR and the SAR come from the same 116-card release, so a sealed box is the way to pull either version yourself — along with everything else the set contains.
Pulling either Dawn print from sealed product isn’t guaranteed on any single box — both are alternate-art, above-base-count cards, which is exactly the rarity tier that makes the graded singles above the more predictable route if you specifically want a Dawn card in hand.
The Entry Print: Dawn SR (106/080)
Dawn SR, 106/080, is illustrated by Yuu Nishida and sits in the Super Rare tier of Inferno X’s alternate-art lineup. It’s the more accessible of the two Dawn prints, and the one we’d point a first-time buyer toward if the goal is simply owning a graded copy of the character rather than chasing the top-tier art slot.
This is a single listed copy — not an open-ended stock level. Once it sells, it’s out of our listings until another PSA 10 example comes through our grading queue.
The Chase Print: Dawn SAR (115/080)
Dawn SAR, 115/080, is illustrated by Atsushi Furusawa and carries Inferno X’s Special Art Rare treatment — a step above the SR in the set’s rarity ladder. It’s our top-listed Dawn card, and the card number sits closer to the top of the set’s secret-rare run than the SR does, at 115 versus 106.
Same rule applies here: a single listed copy, currently our highest-value Dawn print. When it sells, it’s gone until another PSA 10 comes through.
Why the SAR Costs More Than Double the SR
At ¥13,761 versus ¥6,567, the SAR currently lists a little over 2x the SR — a meaningful gap for two cards with identical game text, released in the same set on the same day. The mechanism is rarity slot, not gameplay value. SAR (Special Art Rare) sits a tier above SR (Super Rare) in Inferno X’s alternate-art hierarchy, which generally means a lower print quantity relative to the SR slot in the same set — the same pattern that shows up across most modern Japanese high-class packs and expansions, where SAR-tier alternate art commands a premium over the SR tier beneath it.
It’s worth being precise about what that gap does and doesn’t tell you. It doesn’t mean the SAR is a stronger card in a deck — both prints run the identical Supporter search effect covered above. And it doesn’t mean the SR is a lesser find; at 106/080, it’s still numbered well above the set’s 080 base count, placing it in the same secret-rare bracket as the SAR, just in a more widely-pulled slot within that bracket. The price difference is a function of two alternate-art tiers stacked on top of each other in the same 116-card set, not a gap between a common card and a rare one.
If you’re weighing which Japanese trainer-character cards are worth chasing more broadly — not just Dawn’s two prints — our PSA 10 Japanese trainer cards guide rounds up several Supporter characters across sets, and our Cynthia & Garchomp cards guide covers another character whose Supporter prints show the same SR-versus-SAR price split.
If your priority is simply owning a graded Dawn card, the SR at ¥6,567 gets you the same in-game Supporter effect as the SAR at less than half the price. If the alternate-art treatment itself is the draw, the SAR is the one to chase.
