Character info
The character
Amulet of Hope is a Pokémon Tool card rather than a character, part of the ACE SPEC line of exceptionally powerful trainer items in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. These tools are designed to be rare and restricted, with only one allowed per deck due to their strong effects. It represents a piece of equipment a Pokémon can carry into battle to gain an edge when things go wrong.
This card
This is the Korean-language printing of Amulet of Hope from the Super Electric Breaker set (SV8), numbered 101/106 and marked with the ACE rarity designation. The card uses a holographic foil treatment with a vivid magenta and gold radiant background behind the artwork. The illustration by Toyste Beach depicts a metallic amulet-like device with a chain and a glowing, multicolored core.
How it plays
This is a Pokémon Tool card, so it attaches to one of the player's own Pokémon, with only one Tool allowed per Pokémon at a time. As printed, its effect triggers if the Pokémon it is attached to is Knocked Out by damage from an opponent's attack: the player may search their deck for up to 3 cards of their choice, add them to their hand, and then shuffle the deck. As an ACE SPEC card, only one may be included in a deck.

Authenticity
WinnTCG authenticated this card in hand, on the bench, against genuine Pokémon cards. It was checked four ways: light shone through it to check the core, its weight on a scale, its thickness measured, and its print pattern and surface texture under magnification.
How this card was graded
WinnTCG graded this card in hand, on the bench. The card was in our hands, and we sealed the case ourselves. We photographed it here under controlled light to show which card is in the case and where anything we marked sits on it.
If you are buying this slab: the grade is WinnTCG’s judgement of the card that was in front of us, and WinnTCG sealed this case. The photographs above are of that card. Compare them against what you can see through the case, because a case can be opened by anyone who has held it since.
