This 2000 Japanese Neo Genesis Lugia #249 marks the first TCG appearance of the legendary mascot from Pokémon Silver, a pivotal release in the franchise's Johto-era expansion. Presented in a PSA 9 Mint grade, the card features Hironobu Yoshida's illustration paired with the distinct starlight holographic pattern found in the original Japanese Neo sets. There are 4,916 copies currently graded at this level, highlighting its position as one of the most recognized cards from the second generation of Pokémon. As a premiere legendary from the set that introduced over 100 new characters, this card carries the legacy of the series' first major leap beyond the original 151. With the classic Japanese 'Pocket Monsters' card back and clean presentation, it remains a central figure in the history of legendary Pokémon collectibles and the expansion of the Johto region.Show more
