Graded BGS 9.5 Gem Mint, this 2000 Pokémon Neo Genesis 1st Edition Holo Lugia #9 represents an investment-grade centerpiece for high-end TCG collections. The card features subgrades of 9.5 for Centering, 9.5 for Edges, 9.5 for Corners, and 9 for Surface. Illustrated by Hironobu Yoshida, it displays the distinct 1st Edition stamp positioned below the artwork box on the left. The Beckett population report lists 163 copies in this BGS 9.5 Gem Mint tier.
Neo Genesis marked the English TCG debut of Generation II Pokémon, introducing Darkness and Metal energy types to the game. Positioned as the mascot of the expansion, Lugia #9 serves as the primary holofoil chase card of the set. Neo Genesis holofoils are notoriously condition-sensitive due to widespread factory print lines and edge silvering, making high-grade 1st Edition examples exceptionally difficult to acquire.Show more
