$40.00USD

PSA Graded Card - Certification #120633331 - Grade: MINT 9

This is a Japanese Pokémon trading card featuring Heracross from the 2000 Neo Genesis set (known as "Neo 1" in Japan). The card is number 214 and is a holographic rare. The card's background behind Heracross is a vibrant, multi-colored holographic foil that glitters under light, a distinct feature of holo cards from this era. The card border is a classic yellow with Japanese text and stylized font throughout, featuring Ken Sugimori's artwork. The bottom left features the illustrator's name in small print. The PSA grade is 9 (Mint), and no obvious defects are visible through the case, suggesting sharp corners, centered image, and clean edges. There's a prominent star rarity symbol on the bottom right. The historical context: Neo Genesis introduced several Johto Pokémon to trading cards for the first time; Heracross is a popular Bug/Fighting-type from the second generation. Notable distinguishing features for collectors include the Japanese language, Neo block numbering, and holo foil specific to the original Media Factory prints before international releases.
