Released by Wizards of the Coast in 2000, this 1st Edition Blaine's Arcanine #1 holofoil originates from the Gym Challenge expansion and features original artwork by lead Pokémon artist Ken Sugimori. Graded Gem Mint 10 by CGC, this example exhibits precise centering, clean yellow borders, and a well-preserved holo pattern free of visible silvering. According to CGC population reports, 59 copies have achieved this Gem Mint 10 grade.
Gym Challenge debuted in October 2000 as the seventh expansion of the English Pokémon Trading Card Game, building upon the trainer-owned Pokémon theme introduced in Gym Heroes. Positioned as card #1 out of 132 in the set checklist, Blaine's Arcanine stands as the premier Stage 1 Fire-type holo representing the Cinnabar Island Gym Leader. Initial 1st Edition pressings from the vintage Wizards of the Coast era were subject to limited print runs, making top-graded holofoils from the set key targets for classic TCG set builders.Show more
