Condition
Encased in a PSA 10 GEM MINT slab. PSA 10 means the card is essentially perfect — sharp corners, clean edges, flawless surface, and excellent centering. The holo is bright and vibrant with strong eye appeal. No scratches, whitening, or surface issues.
This is a high-end example of one of the most iconic mythical Pokémon from the Neo era. Celebi’s debut holo from Awakening Legends remains a staple for Gen 2 and Japanese vintage collectors. High-grade copies (especially PSA 10) have strong demand due to the set’s age, the card’s artwork, and Celebi’s popularity.
The cosmic purple background and classic Yoshida art look excellent in a 10. Perfect for display or a serious Japanese Neo / mythical collection.
