Released during the peak of Generation I excitement in 1997, this Aerodactyl (#142) originates from the Japanese expansion The Mystery of the Fossils, which served as the predecessor to the Western Fossil set release. Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, the artwork features the ancient Rock/Flying-type framed by Japan's classic cosmos holofoil pattern and paired with the original Pocket Monsters card back design. Graded EX/NM+ 6.5 by CGC, the card has a reported population of 64 copies at this specific numeric designation. Early Japanese vintage holos from the original Media Factory printings remain a fan-favorite entry point for hobbyists who appreciate the raw aesthetic and nostalgia of the TCG's formative years.Show more
