Product ID: 792759981470 : Toys & Games Get cards from the first English Pokémon TCG set 🌟ENTIRE GENERATION 1 POKEMON CARD

THIS CARD COMES FROM ONE OF THE VERY FIRST POKEMON SETS THAT WAS EVER CREATED, WHEN THEY WERE FIRST CALLED "POCKET MONSTERS" (BEFORE "POKEMON")

With instantly recognizable artwork from Douglas Shuler of a powerful Angel holding a sword aloft (unrelated: is that a mullet?), its no surprise to see this card in reasonable condition fetch nearly $700 on the open market
