Graded NM-MT+ 8.5 by BGS. An avidly sought-after, very early Pokemon collectible. A true foundation element of the Pokemon specialty, this amazing piece actually pre-dates Pokemon "game" pieces, instead going back to the characters' origins in the "anime" realm. Although highly specialized and difficult to obtain, this blue-backed item features the immediately recognizable Charizard ... then, as now, an icon among Pokemon enthusiasts. (It should be noted that, although this rarity carries a "1995" date, that refers to copyright/trademark status. The card was originally distributed in 1997.) The card’s BGS condition report: Centering: 8, Corners: 9.5, Edges: 9.5, Surface: 9. A must-have item for an advanced Pokemon assembly, in Near Mint to Mint-plus condition.
