LUGIA-HOLO | 2000 POKEMON JAPANESE NEO 249 | PSA EX-MT 6

PSA Graded Card - Certification #131225720 - Grade: EX-MT 6

This is the 2000 Japanese Neo Genesis Lugia Holofoil card (#249) from the Neo Genesis set. The front features striking holofoil (holographic) background with sparkly patterns accentuating the central artwork of Lugia, drawn by Hironobu Yoshida. The card is bordered with a gold/yellow frame and all text is in Japanese. The layout includes HP, elemental energy symbols, attack cost, and card statistics in the lower section. The Neo-era star symbol is found at the bottom right. This card is slabbed and graded PSA 6 (EX-MT), indicating moderate play, minor surface scuffs or wear, and possible whitening at corners or edges but still good overall presentation. No autographs or serial numbering are present. It uses classical holofoil printing techniques common to premium Pokemon cards of the era, and is one of the most iconic cards from the Neo Genesis set, with high collector demand due to the popularity of Lugia and the relative scarcity of Japanese originals in high grade.
