This is a 100% authentic, deeply mystical, and historically monumental vintage Japanese Pokémon card: Celebi (No.251 Holofoil Promo). Released in 2000 exclusively within the legendary localized box set "Pokémon Card Neo Premium File 3" to celebrate the grand finale of the Generation 2 Johto era.
Beautifully illustrated by acclaimed artist Toshinao Aoki, this iconic masterpiece perfectly captures the Time Travel mythical Pokémon Celebi floating gracefully inside a sacred, sun-dappled ancient forest, brilliantly enhanced by the nostalgic, mesmerizing deep cosmic starlight holofoil print unique to the original Old Back era. Because this historic single was never available in standard booster packs and survived over 26 years since the turn of the millennium, raw copies are aggressively target-locked by global elite Celebi completists and vintage Japanese TCG investors worldwide. This is a single card listing.
