About this card
This is the iconic Japanese Base Set Blastoise Holo Rare, featuring Ken Sugimori's classic artwork of the powerful Water-type Pokémon against a sparkling holographic background. As card No.009 from the original 1996 Japanese Base Set, this card holds tremendous nostalgic and historical significance as one of the most sought-after cards from the earliest days of the Pokémon TCG. The Japanese version predates its English counterpart and features the original layout with the gold border and classic design. A cornerstone piece for any vintage Pokémon collector.
