Zapdos Holo No.145 from the original Japanese Expansion Pack (1996) — the very first release of the Pokémon Card Game. This Old Back print represents the true beginning of the hobby and features iconic Ken Sugimori artwork from Pokémon’s earliest era.

Sugimori captures Zapdos bursting forward in a storm of jagged lightning, its wings spread wide as electricity radiates outward. In Pokémon lore, Zapdos dwells within thunderclouds and is said to gain power from lightning strikes, appearing suddenly during violent storms. When it flaps its wings, bolts of electricity crack through the sky, making it one of the most feared and revered Legendary Birds of Kanto.

A true cornerstone holographic from the birth of Pokémon collecting — raw early-era power and history in card form.

Shipped in a penny sleeve, top loader, sealed in a team bag, and securely packed in a 6x4x1 box with bubble wrap.
