Pokémon Rowlet 290/SM-P — “The Scream” Munch Collaboration (2018), PSA 10

One of the most iconic and immediately recognisable artistic promos ever produced in the Pokémon world: Rowlet 290/SM-P, part of the celebrated Japanese collection inspired by Edvard Munch's The Scream.

The card is a meeting point between classical art and contemporary pop expression, reinterpreting the composition of the original work in Pokémon terms. The illustration, expressionist in style and instantly legible, has made Rowlet a genuine visual icon among modern promos — a card recognised before any code or grade is read.

The set was distributed in Japan only in 2018, born from an official collaboration between Pokémon and the Munch Museum, and it was never printed in English: the Japanese version is the only official one in existence. That combination of museum-grade cultural reference, single-market distribution and distinctive visual identity places it in a category of its own among promos, well beyond the ordinary promotional tier.

This example is graded PSA 10 (Gem Mint), the highest preservation band, which is where a card of this kind is normally collected.
