This lot features three iconic cards from the early "Golden Era" of the Japanese Pokémon TCG. It includes a highly sought-after "banned" artwork card, making it a must-have for specialized collectors. 1. Sabrina’s Eye (Natsume’s Eye) - BANNED ARTWORK Set: Challenge from the Darkness (Gym 2, 1999) Significance: This is the original banned version. The artwork was censored and completely redesigned for the English release because the gesture and the symbol on the Poké Ball were deemed controversial in Western markets. Owning the Japanese original is the only way to have this specific Ken Sugimori illustration. 2. Dark Charmeleon (Warui Lizardo) Set: Rocket Gang (Team Rocket, 1997) Legacy: A key card from the first set to introduce "Dark" Pokémon. A vital piece for any Charizard-line collector, featuring the classic "R" stamp. 3. Rapidash (Gallop) Set: Awakening Legends (Neo Revelation, 2001) Art: Illustrated by the legendary Mitsuhiro Arita. A beautiful example of the holographic-era aesthetics from the Neo series. Condition Report Condition: The cards are in Excellent to Near Mint (NM) condition. Observation: Front surfaces are glossy and vibrant; edges are remarkably sharp with minimal to no whitening. Storage: Always kept in sleeves and protective top-loaders (included in the auction).
