ROCKET'S SNEAK ATTACK | 1997 POKEMON JAPANESE ROCKET | HOLO | PSA MINT 9

PSA Graded Card - Certification #120633335 - Grade: MINT 9

This is a Japanese-language Pokemon TCG Trainer card from the 1997 Team Rocket expansion, featuring 'Rocket's Sneak Attack' with Jessie (Team Rocket 's female member) in the artwork. The card has a classic yellow border with a horizontal wood-grain 'TRAINER' banner at the top, Japanese text below, and a square holographic art panel featuring Jessie wielding a Pokeball with a dramatic starry/sparkling background. The rest of the card's text box contains instructions in Japanese, set within a light grey background and metallic button corners. The card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori. This card is graded 'MINT 9' by PSA, meaning it is in nearly pristine condition with minimal visible flaws. The holographic technique adds a shimmering visual appeal to the image. The Team Rocket expansion marked the thematic debut of villainous characters in the Pokemon TCG, and this card is notable for being an early example of a Japanese-only print prior to the international release.
