This 2000 Pokémon Gym Challenge 1st Edition Holofoil Blaine's Arcanine (#1/132) is graded Mint 9 by PSA. Featuring artwork by Ken Sugimori, this card depicts the Stage 1 Fire-type Pokémon framed by its distinct holofoil background and the original 1st Edition stamp. The PSA population report shows 708 copies of this card have achieved a Mint 9 grade, reflecting the relative scarcity of preserving vintage holofoil surfaces from the early Wizards of the Coast era.
Gym Challenge, released in October 2000, represents the final expansion of the Gym-era sets, expanding on the themes of its predecessor by introducing cards themed around Gym Leaders Sabrina, Koga, Giovanni, and Blaine. This card showcases the "Owner's Pokémon" mechanic, which tied specific Pokémon to their respective trainers in the lore and gameplay. As a premier holofoil from the set's limited 1st Edition print run, Blaine's Arcanine remains a significant historical piece from the initial generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.Show more
