Authentic 1996 Japanese Pokémon Card – No Rarity Symbol (Initial Print)!

This is an authentic Magikarp No.129 No Rarity Symbol from the original 1996 Japanese Pokémon Card Game Base Set.

Cards without a rarity symbol were only printed in the very first production run, making them significantly scarcer than later Base Set cards with rarity marks. They are among the most desirable vintage Japanese Pokémon cards for collectors worldwide.

This card has been evaluated based on eBay’s official trading card condition guidelines.

The card shows heavy wear from extensive play and handling, including significant edge and corner wear, surface scratches, scuffing, and whitening on both the front and back. The upper-right corner on the front has particularly heavy surface loss/damage, with additional wear visible around the card.

Despite the extensive wear, the artwork and printed details remain clearly visible, and the card does not appear heavily clouded or obscured.

A well-battled vintage card that has clearly seen plenty of Pokémon battles over the years.

Please carefully review all photos for the exact condition before purchasing.
