Pokémon Card - Pichu 172 Holo - WOTC - Neo Genesis

Introduction

Offered here is a Japanese Pichu No.172 Holo card from the classic old-back Pokémon Card Game era.

The holo background has a particularly attractive appearance, with the colors and sparkle changing depending on the angle of the light. For this reason, the photos taken outside the loader are placed first so the holographic effect can be seen more clearly. The photo showing the card inside the loader is placed last.

Historical & Collector Value

Japanese old-back Pokémon cards are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their nostalgic design and connection to the early history of the Pokémon Card Game.

Pichu is a popular character among collectors, and this holographic version offers strong display appeal thanks to the colorful holo pattern that changes beautifully under different lighting angles.

Condition

Please carefully review all photographs as they form an important part of the condition description.

There are scratches on the back of the card. They are more noticeable when the card is viewed under direct light or at certain angles, but are not especially obvious at a quick glance under normal viewing conditions.

As this is a vintage trading card, there may also be minor signs of age and handling, including small scratches, dents, holo wear, whitening, surface lines, or other minor imperfections.

The holographic area shows attractive color variation and sparkle depending on the angle of the light, which gives the card a very appealing appearance in hand.

Packing & Protection

The card will be shipped inside a sleeve and a rigid loader to help protect it from bending and damage during transportation.

The final photograph shows the card inside the loader. Because the loader reduces the visibility of the holographic sparkle, the earlier photographs were taken outside the loader to better show the card's holo effect and color changes.

For protection against item substitution, the packing process is photographed before shipment.
