Lot #195: 1995 Pokemon Japanese Topsun Charizard, Scarce Blue Back – PSA GEM MT 10 "1 of 1!"

Description

Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA. An avidly sought-after, very early Pokemon collectible. This is the only example validated by PSA at its supreme level among a total of thirty-one copies recorded in the company's census reporting. 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 exceedingly difficult to obtain, this tougher "No Number," 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.) A must-have item for an advanced Pokemon assembly, in unique and captivating Gem Mint condition.
