This 2002 Pokémon Legendary Collection Reverse Holo Charizard #3 is graded a Gem Mint 10 by CGC. As the ultimate chase card from one of the most celebrated Wizards of the Coast-era releases, this specimen represents a blue-chip TCG asset and a cornerstone piece for a serious collection. Only 53 copies of this reverse holo have achieved the Gem Mint 10 designation from CGC, highlighting the scarcity of this card in such a highly graded state. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, the card pairs the iconic Base Set artwork with the distinctively bold foil finish of the set. Released in 2002, the Legendary Collection set introduced the western Pokémon TCG community to the celebrated "fireworks" reverse holographic foil pattern. This full-card foil treatment runs across the entire face of the card except for the central illustration box, a print style unique to this era of the franchise. Because the highly reflective, non-textured surface is notoriously susceptible to vertical print lines, print lines, and surface scratching directly from the pack, finding a copy entirely free of condition flaws is exceedingly rare. This card remains one of the most culturally significant and historically recognized singles in the entire history of the Pokémon TCG.Show more
