Deoxys VSTAR PSA 10 Pokemon Card (Japanese S12a 223/172 SAR): Prints

Every Japanese Deoxys VSTAR Print in the Official Database

The official database lists Deoxys VSTAR S12a 223/172 and SPD 007/020.

The database prints a different illustrator on the SAR (DOM) than on the deck card (5ban Graphics), so the two prints carry different artwork. The S12a 223/172 row is the one our PSA 10 back order matches.

The English Counterpart of Deoxys VSTAR 223/172

The English card Limitless TCG links to the SAR is Crown Zenith #GG46, labelled Character Super Rare and credited to DOM, the same illustrator as S12a 223/172 (Limitless, as of October 7, 2026). Limitless dates Crown Zenith to January 20, 2023. Limitless also lists Sword & Shield Promos #268. The Japanese database does not print whether two prints share artwork; only the illustrator credit matches here.

The Japanese SAR and the English Crown Zenith card are different products: Crown Zenith is an English set, while 223/172 sits in the Japanese high-class pack. For the box-level comparisons, see Crown Zenith Pokemon Booster Box vs Japanese VSTAR Universe (S12a) and Pokemon Crown Zenith ETB and Bundle vs the Japanese VSTAR Universe Box.

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 SAR is identified by its number 223/172 and the rarity code SAR, and the illustrator credit DOM separates it from the deck card SPD 007/020. The product page photo shows the label as graded.

Other Deoxys and VSTAR Universe Cards We List as PSA 10

Deoxys appears on another card in the same set, and two VSTAR cards from the same pack are in the table as well. All are different cards, each described by its own listing name, and none is a Deoxys VSTAR print. Prices are our PSA 10 listings as of October 7, 2026.

The VMAX carries the number 222/172 and the VSTAR 223/172, so the two numbers sit next to each other. Our guide to the Pokémon across eras is Deoxys Pokemon Card Guide: Every Japanese Printing to Know.

Other cards from VSTAR Universe have their own PSA 10 guides in our library:
