What Is Erika’s Invitation SR 196/165?
Erika’s Invitation (JP name エリカの招待) is a Trainer’s Supporter card numbered 196/165 in SV2a, the enhanced expansion pack「ポケモンカード151（イチゴーイチ）」— Pokémon Card 151 in English-language coverage. The database lists it as SR (Super Rare), illustrated by saino misaki. SV2a released on June 16, 2023, at ¥290 (tax included) per 7-card pack.
The number itself is a giveaway of its rarity slot — SV2a’s main numbering runs 001–165, so 196/165 sits in the block above the set number. The card face carries a printed regulation mark of G, per the official card image, and a copyright year of ©2023.
The art, per the official card image, shows Erika in a yellow kimono with a red hairband, standing under wisteria.

Our rendering: “Your opponent reveals their hand. Choose a Basic Pokémon you find there, put it onto their Bench, and switch it with their Active Pokémon. You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn.”
Other エリカの招待 Prints in the Database
The database search for エリカの招待 returns three genuine hits (two additional results for the same search term were a different card, モンジャラ, and are unrelated):
| Rarity | Illustrator | |
|---|---|---|
| 161/165 | U | saino misaki |
| 196/165 (this guide) | SR | saino misaki |
| 206/165 | SAR | Cona Nitanda |
The Uncommon (161/165) and this Super Rare (196/165) share the same illustrator, saino misaki. The Special Art Rare at 206/165 is illustrated by Cona Nitanda instead. If you’re trying to identify which print you’re holding, the number in the corner settles it immediately: 161/165, 196/165 and 206/165 are three distinct database entries with three distinct rarity icons, and none of them is a reprint of another set’s Erika card. In the database’s own card IDs, the U 161/165 is cardID 43482, this SR 196/165 is cardID 43981, and the SAR 206/165 is cardID 43991.

Dated Asking Price and Our PSA10 Listing
On September 18, 2026, the lowest asking price on SNKRDUNK for a raw エリカの招待 SR 196/165 was ¥3,000. Graded copies of the same card were asking between ¥6,000 and ¥29,800 on the same date.
Our PSA 10 listing for this exact print is sold out at the time of writing. PSA’s own Grading Standards page (psacard.com/gradingstandards, as printed on September 18, 2026) defines the grade this copy carries: “A PSA Gem Mint 10 card is a virtually perfect card.” It continues: “Attributes include four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus and full original gloss. A PSA Gem Mint 10 card must be free of staining of any kind, but an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn’t impair the overall appeal of the card. The image must be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 percent on the front, and 75/25 percent on the reverse.” The same page notes a subjective element to grading: “The best way to define the subjective element is to do so by posing a question: What will the market accept for this particular issue?” PSA also separates authentication from grading on its own site: “Authentication is the process of verifying the originality or genuineness of a trading card. Grading is assessing the quality and condition of a trading card using PSA’s 10-point grading scale. Grading can only take place after a trading card has been deemed authentic.” Our own Japanese Pokémon card condition guide article breaks a PSA submission down into four checks: centering (“How evenly the printed image sits within the card’s border, front and back”), corners (“Sharpness of all four corners — a Gem Mint 10 requires all four to be perfectly sharp”), edges (“Condition of the card’s cut edges, checked for whitening, chipping, or roughness”), and surface (“Gloss, print quality, and freedom from staining, scratches, or print defects”).
