Pokémon - 1 Card - Voltorb, 1998/from the "Expansion Sheet Vol. 2 (Red Version) 100

The "Voltorb" card from the "Expansion Sheet Vol. 2 (Red Version)"—part of the original Pokémon Card series (often referred to as "Old Back" cards)—is highly sought after by collectors. **Distinctive Artwork by Tomokazu Komiya:** This version of Voltorb features art by Tomokazu Komiya, an artist with a dedicated following thanks to his unique style and surreal aesthetic. Its unique design—incorporating elements of a photorealistic factory (reminiscent of the Power Plant)—has significantly driven up collector demand. **The Unique Sheen of "Expansion Sheet" Cards:** Unlike standard "Old Back" cards, the cards from the "Expansion Sheet" series—originally sold via Jumbo Carddass vending machines in 1998—feature a distinctive, smooth, glossy finish on the surface. This specific finish is highly prized among collectors. **Competitive Viability (Hall of Fame Rules):** Beyond its appeal to collectors, this card is also highly regarded by players who compete using "Old Back" cards. Its attack, "Spark Together" (Minna de Spark), increases in power based on the number of Voltorb cards in play; consequently, it boasts top-tier performance (e.g., Rank A) capable of serving as the core of a dedicated deck.
