Pop5
This 2001 Japanese Hoppip is a standout promo from Volume 5 of the "How I Became a Pokémon Card" manga series, featuring the distinct illustrative style of Kagemaru Himeno. Graded a Gem Mint 10 by CGC, this card is one of only 5 copies at this grade in the current population report, highlighting the difficulty of finding these book-insert promos in such high-quality condition. The artwork, which depicts a trio of Hoppip perched atop a Gengar, is exclusive to this manga release and carries the No. 187 designation within the promotional set. These Natta Wake cards represent a unique era in the franchise's history, bridging the Neo and e-Series periods with storytelling-focused art that differs from standard expansion releases. As collectors increasingly look toward early 2000s Japanese promos to round out specific artist or species collections, a high-grade copy like this offers a rare look at a niche but highly regarded segment of the TCG's heritage.Show more
