This 2000 Pokémon Neo Genesis Lugia Holo (#9/111) is graded Gem Mint 10 by CGC. Illustrated by Hironobu Yoshida, the card features the legendary Diving Pokémon set against a shimmering, star-patterned holographic background. Out of all submissions processed by CGC, only 33 copies have attained this Gem Mint 10 designation. The card's centering, clean yellow borders, and lack of surface wear highlight its preservation, especially given the condition sensitivity of early holographic foils.
Released in December 2000, Neo Genesis was the first English expansion to introduce Generation II Pokémon from the Johto region, making it a foundational set in the franchise's history. As the mascot for the *Pokémon Silver* video game, Lugia was designed as the premier chase card of the set, notable for its complex "Elemental Blast" attack that requires Fire, Water, and Lightning energy. Vintage Wizards of the Coast-era holographic cards are notoriously difficult to find in Gem Mint condition due to print lines and edge wear from handling, cementing this card's status as a highlight of the Neo era.Show more
