HOUNDOUR-HOLO | 2000 POKEMON JAPANESE NEO 2 228 | PSA MINT 9

PSA Graded Card - Certification #112520406 - Grade: MINT 9

This is a 2000 Pokémon card featuring Houndour from the Japanese Neo 2 set (Neo Discovery in English). The card is presented in holofoil ('Holo') with a shimmering background behind the character art. The card is written entirely in Japanese with bold, vibrant orange-red borders that correspond to Fire-type Pokémon. The illustration by Ayo Kusube shows Houndour in a field with sparkling blue holofoil sky effects. Condition is noted as PSA 9 Mint (slabbed), with sharp corners, clean surfaces, and bright coloring. There are standard Neo-era design elements including a yellow border, classic Japanese Pokémon layout, and small black star rarity symbol at the lower right. The card number (No. 228) is located at the bottom right front. Holographic technology gives the background a multi-faceted shine. As a vintage Japanese set, it holds significance as part of the original expansion introducing Johto Pokémon to the Japanese trading card game. This is the holofoil variant, which is more sought after than the non-holo base version from the same set.
