This 1996 Pokémon Japanese Base Set Nidoking Holo features the original "No Rarity Symbol" print error, identifying it as part of the very first production run of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in Japan. Graded PSA 9 Mint, the card showcases original artwork by Ken Sugimori alongside the vintage Japanese card back design. According to the PSA population report, 80 copies have achieved this grade. Released by Media Factory in October 1996, the inaugural Japanese print run was produced without the standard rarity symbols in the lower right corner, making these early cards distinct from subsequent printings. Early Japanese holographic cards from this set are notoriously susceptible to foil scratching and edge wear, limiting the number of copies that have maintained Mint condition over time.Show more
