Pokémon Onix 98/147 Aquapolis 2002 E-Card WoTC Vintage Hajime Kusajima NM

Description

Pokémon TCG — Onix 98/147 | Aquapolis (2002) | Non-Holo

From Aquapolis, the second of the three e-Card expansions and among the last English sets Wizards of the Coast produced before the Pokémon licence passed to Nintendo. Hajime Kusajima's illustration is one of the most atmospheric in the set — Onix rearing over a rocky ridge at sunrise, the whole scene rendered in warm ochres and rose with the sun flaring behind, closer to landscape painting than character art. Kusajima's work across the e-Card sets is consistently sought after for exactly this quality. The card carries e-Reader dot codes along both the lower and left-hand edges, the double-strip layout unique to the short-lived e-Card format.
