This item consists of a pack of protective card sleeves designed for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, featuring an illustration of the character Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic. The artwork depicts Cyrus in his signature grey and black futuristic uniform with a stylized 'G' emblem, set against a dramatic purple and red background featuring his partner Pokémon, Honchkrow and Weavile. Each sleeve measures approximately 66mm x 91mm, standard for 'Standard Size' TCGs. The sleeves feature a vibrant golden yellow border. At the bottom of the sleeve, official copyright text is visible: '©2022 Pokémon / Nintendo / Creatures / GAME FREAK.' This dating suggests they were released during the Sword & Shield era, specifically as part of 'Cyrus's Premium Tournament Collection.' The sleeves appear to be in a bulk secondary market packaging (clear plastic bag) priced at $4.49, which is common for thrift store find. While the exact count is not confirmed without opening the bag, these typically come in sets of 65. The condition appears New-Old-Stock (NOS), showing no visible signs of shuffling wear or corner splitting, though the outer retail packaging is missing and has been replaced by thrift store bagging.
