Blaziken VMAX PSA 10 Pokemon Card (Japanese S8b 217/184 CSR): Prints

What Blaziken VMAX S8b 217/184 Is

Blaziken VMAX S8b 217/184 is the CSR of VMAX Climax. The database row (id 41048) gives the card name バシャーモVMAX, the number 217/184, a Character Super Rare icon, HP 320, fire type, VMAX stage (V進化) and the illustrator KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA. The number sits above the printed total of 184.

Limitless TCG shows an E regulation mark and the Character Super Rare label for the print (as of October 7, 2026). The official page itself does not print the mark as text.

The Other Database Prints: RRR 020/184 and RRR 008/070

Two database rows are not the CSR. Both are credited to AKIRA EGAWA and both carry the RRR icon.

Blaziken VMAX RRR 020/184 (S8b)

The RRR is the regular-numbered Blaziken VMAX of VMAX Climax, from the same pack as the CSR. Our guide to the box is VMAX Climax (S8b): Sealed Box vs Damaged Box.

Blaziken VMAX RRR 008/070 (S5a)

The database lists this card under 強化拡張パック「双璧のファイター」. Bulbapedia’s list (as of September 15, 2026) gives 2021-03-19 as the release date and 70 cards in the main set for Peerless Fighters, an enhanced expansion pack.

The English Counterpart of Blaziken VMAX 217/184

The English card Limitless TCG links to the CSR is Silver Tempest #TG15, labelled Character Super Rare and credited to KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA, the same illustrator as S8b 217/184 (Limitless, as of October 7, 2026). Limitless dates Silver Tempest to November 11, 2022. The Japanese database does not print whether two prints share artwork; only the illustrator credit matches here.

Limitless links the Japanese prints S5a #8 and VMAX Climax #20 and #217 to this card name. For how Japanese and English printings differ, see Japanese vs English Pokemon Cards.

What PSA 10 Means for This Card

PSA 10 designates Gem Mint condition per PSA’s published grading standards. The standard is the same for every card; what changes from print to print is how the slab is identified. A CSR is identified by its number 217/184 and the rarity code CSR, and the illustrator credit KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA separates it from the RRR 020/184 (AKIRA EGAWA). The product page photo shows the label as graded.

Other Blaziken Cards We List as PSA 10

Blaziken appears on other Japanese cards. These are different cards, each described by its own listing name, and none is a Blaziken VMAX print. Prices are our PSA 10 back orders as of October 7, 2026.

That listing is the Blaziken V card, not the VMAX, and its number 216/184 differs from the VMAX 217/184.
