The old-back Pokémon card "Ho-Oh Lv. 45 " was included in the third expansion pack of the Pokémon Card ★neo series, "Awakened Legends," released on November 23, 2000. It's highly sought-after by collectors and, depending on its condition, can fetch high prices. This popularity stems from its rarity and its status as an iconic card from the early days of Pokémon cards. Ho-Oh is particularly popular among legendary Pokémon, and has played an important role in the anime and movies, which is another factor in its large fan base. With the recent resurgence in popularity of old-back Pokémon cards overall, cards from that time have become increasingly valuable as collector's items. -------------------------------------- Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
