1996 Pokémon Japanese Base Set – Poliwrath No.062
No Rarity Symbol Holo / Original First Print
A genuine vintage Japanese Poliwrath (ニョロボン) No.062 Holo from the original 1996 Pokémon Card Game Base Set.
This card is the highly collectible No Rarity Symbol version, identifiable by the absence of the rarity symbol in the lower-right area of the card.
These No Rarity Symbol cards are associated with the earliest Japanese Base Set printings, making them especially desirable to collectors interested in the origins of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a holographic card from this earliest print era, Poliwrath is an especially attractive piece for vintage Japanese Pokémon collectors.
The artwork was illustrated by legendary Pokémon designer Ken Sugimori, featuring the classic original Poliwrath artwork against the distinctive deep purple and blue vintage holo background.
For collectors of original Japanese Pokémon cards, this is a striking 1996 No Rarity Holo with unmistakable early Pokémon TCG character.

🔍 Condition
MP (Moderately Played)
The condition has been evaluated conservatively based on eBay’s official trading card condition guidelines.
The card shows noticeable signs of handling and age on both the front and back, including surface scratches, fine hairlines, edge wear, corner wear, and general play wear.
The most important condition point is a diagonal bend / crease-like mark. This area can be difficult to notice when viewing the card straight on, but becomes more visible from certain angles and under reflected light.
A separate “Points to Check” image has been included specifically to make this area easier to see.
Despite the visible wear, the front still presents attractively overall, and the classic artwork and vintage holographic surface retain strong visual appeal.
Considering the overall surface and edge wear together with the diagonal bend / crease-like mark, we have conservatively classified this card as MP (Moderately Played).
