The sections below take the print we list first, then the others.
The Print We List: Paradigm Trigger 103/098
The official database lists this print at 103/098, illustrated by Toshinao Aoki, from the Expansion Pack “Paradigm Trigger” (拡張パック「パラダイムトリガー」, S12). It is a Basic Pokemon V with 180 HP and Psychic type. The database gives Weakness Darkness ×2, Resistance Fighting −30 and a Retreat Cost of 1. As a Pokemon V, the opponent takes 2 Prize cards when it is Knocked Out.
Two attacks are printed. 「あやしいこくいん」 does 30 damage and the Defending Pokemon becomes Confused. 「ビクトリーシンボル」 has no damage number: if your remaining Prize cards are exactly 1 when you use it, you win the game. These are our English paraphrases, not official text.
The evolution field lists アンノーンVSTAR and アンノーンV, with アンノーンV marked as this card. Our listing name carries an SA tag; the database keeps one entry per number and does not record alternate-art status, so that attribute comes from the listing name only.
This print is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥11,424 (~$74) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. Our PSA 10 back order guide explains how that process works.
Other Verified Unown Prints
Paradigm Trigger carries several Unown prints under two card names. The database lists アンノーンV 102/098 as a second SR, credited to N-DESIGN Inc., and the VSTAR line as 116/098 HR and 036/098 RRR, both credited to PLANETA Mochizuki.
Numbers 102/098 and 103/098 are separate database entries with the same card name and rarity icon, credited to different illustrators, so the number and the credit are what tell them apart. The RR Unown V at 035/098 is also credited to N-DESIGN Inc.
The older cards in the table are named after the letter or symbol on the card. The database lists Unown [!] at DPBP#255 (DP5), [P] at DPBP#244 (DP4), [H] at DPBP#236 (DP4) and [S] at DPBP#247 (DP3), each with an R icon. Their credits are Kent Kanetsuna, Kent Kanetsuna, Daisuke Ito and Kazuyuki Kano respectively. For how the codes line up with sets, see our Japanese Pokemon card sets in order guide.
How to Read an Unown Card
Three things on a Japanese card identify the print, and each can be checked against the official database.
- Number. The listed card reads 103/098: the number is higher than the printed set total, and it is the number the database uses to separate 103/098 from 102/098.
- Rarity. The database shows a rarity icon rather than a word. On 103/098 it is the SR icon; the VSTAR at 116/098 shows the HR icon. Our rarities guide lists the letter codes.
- Regulation mark. 103/098 carries F. The Standard regulation allows H, I and J, so F is not in the current Standard regulation.
