Whether you are building a complete set of Shonen Jump promos or simply admire the design of this 10-Star machine, this card remains a key identifier for serious collectors. The visual presentation of JUMP-EN038 utilizes the standard Ultra Rare treatment of the time, giving the card a shimmering finish that stands out in any binder or deck box.
