Arceus VSTAR 262/172 — A Premier TAG Graded Gem Mint 10 Collectible

Arceus VSTAR 262/172 from the 2022 Japanese VSTAR Universe expansion is an Alternate Art Ultra Rare that captured attention the moment the set released. This listing is for a card graded TAG 10 (Gem Mint), the highest grade TAG assigns — indicating a flawless card with perfect centering, pristine surface, sharp corners, and no visible handling marks. Encased in TAG’s tamper-proof slab, this Arceus VSTAR is a top-tier collectible for serious Pokémon TCG collectors, investors, and fans of the Arceus line.

Why Arceus VSTAR 262/172 is Special

Arceus, the Mythical “Original One,” has a long history of being a sought-after subject in Pokémon collecting. The VSTAR Universe print of Arceus includes an Alternate Art Ultra Rare variant that showcases expansive, detailed artwork and premium finishing — traits that tend to make these cards stand out both visually and in the secondary market. Alternate Art Ultra Rares usually have lower print runs and higher collector demand than standard rares, which increases their long-term desirability, especially when graded at the Gem Mint level.

TAG Grading — Modern Precision for Modern Collectors

TAG (Trading/Technical/Trusted Grading) has become a respected name in card grading by blending machine precision with human oversight and digital transparency. TAG’s process uses high-resolution imaging and objective metrics to assess surface, corners, edges, and centering. A TAG 10 Gem Mint grade means the card meets the most stringent standards — a major value driver for collectors who demand both authenticity and perfect condition.

Investment & Market Perspective

Gem Mint 10 slabs consistently command premium prices in the market. For Japanese exclusives like Arceus VSTAR 262/172, the market is often stronger among international collectors who prize alternate art variants and high grades. While markets can fluctuate, historically strong Pokémon characters (Arceus included) paired with ultra-rare alternate art prints and perfect grades tend to maintain value and sometimes appreciate as fewer top-grade examples remain available over time.

How This Card Fits in Collections

This Arceus VSTAR TAG 10 is equally at home in multiple types of collections: as the centerpiece of a VSTAR Universe showcase, as part of a graded-legendary series, or within high-grade Japanese-only master sets. Collectors who focus on alternate art and ultra-rare chase cards will find this piece especially attractive because it combines visual impact with slabbed assurance.

Display & Preservation

TAG slabs are designed for long-term preservation and display. Each slab is crystal-clear and tamper-resistant, allowing collectors to display their Arceus VSTAR with pride. Whether placed in a wall-frame display, a curated case, or safely stored in a graded-card binder box, this Gem Mint 10 slab will protect the card’s condition for decades.

Ohhh Mr. Iguana
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Illana the Iguana - Large
Mr. Iguana is a house favorite! I got my first one of these in a barkbox and my dog loved it so much, i went on the hunt for another one. Amazon saved the day! I own about 7 of these now. They are prefect for dogs just love to chew, they hold up great! And they are heavy duty, super easy to clean! My dogs are very happy, great value for the money! Doesn't have a smell, vibrant colors! Noise level is quiet, minus my dogs chewing !

Not for strong chewers
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
Initially, I really liked this for my dog. She is about 8 months old and still loves to chew and destroys most toys in a few minutes. When we got this, it seemed like it would hold up for a while despite being clearly gnawed on. Unfortunately, once she focused on the softer "water" portion of the toy, that is where things went downhill with this toy. After a few short chew sessions, she was tearing chunks out of it. We had purchased a replacement since she liked the original so much, and after about 5 minutes with the replacement, she had taken enough out of the blue section that we immediately threw that one out as well. Overall while the green portion held up, the blue didn't. I can't recommend this for strong chewers.

Definitely not indestructable
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large, Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
I have a 1-year-old toy fox terrier (Rocky, pictured). He has been chewing on this toy for seven months now; it is one of his favorites. He has been unable to seriously damage the "ocean" portion of this toy, but as you can see from the provided image, the sea serpent has not faired that well. It is missing its snout and smaller portions of the humps. My guess is that the advertiser images showing much larger dogs with "like new" versions of the toy are just that...NEW AND UNCHEWED. I have not had to clean up bits of this toy from my floor, so I assume Rocky has been swallowing them. My hope is that the yellow material of the serpent is not chemically dangerous when exposed to digestive fluids. Rocky easily destroys plush toys in a matter of days if not hours and, consumed pieces of a small microfiber blanket that he liked to toss around and play tug-of-war with (past tense as he destroyed it and has since been trashed after I began finding feces-stained undigested pieces of it lying around). Since this toy has survived seven months and has remained recognizable, I have to agree it is durable. Just beware, if my small toy fox terrier can damage the toy as pictured, expect your large breed chewer to do similar or worse damage. Also, the toy is very heavy! When Rocky drops it down a flight of stairs, it makes a MAJOR thud at the bottom, and sometimes makes me wonder if it might crack the large tile at the bottom. I cautiously recommend the product. Note the yellow frisbee in Rocky's picture. It is only a few months old and surprisingly has not suffered any chew damage despite substantial abuse. It appears to bend in the wind like a proverbial reed, evading damage by yielding to pressure.

Dog loves it! For tough chewers for sure
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large, Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
Dog absolutely loves it, he’s super rough on all of his toys they usually last about 10 minutes bore they are torn to shreds. It’s lasting through his chewing so I’m happy. It’s also super cute.

Cute toy, dog really likes it. I had my doubts when I pulled it out, and honestly so did she, but the soft part bounces, so that got her going. We've had it for about a week. My dog is ~70 lbs and a moderate chewer, and this monster still gets regular play and is holding up well.
