Description

Pokémon Zapdos 145 Japanese Fossil Test Issue PSA Authentic (Media Factory, 1997). Before you can launch any type of product, it must first go through various stages to perfect it. And the Pokémon Trading Card Game was no different! The very first set from 1996, known as Expansion Pack in Japan and Base Set in English, had various rounds of prints which featured different designs and artwork. These test cards would continue to be created for following sets, to assure that every card printed in the official release would be the best it could be. Offered here for the very first time is one of these unique pieces of Pokémon history: a Japanese Fossil set Zapdos test issue card! Zapdos made its fist TCG appearance in the Base Set, with artwork done by Ken Sugimori. This test issue uses different artwork by Sugimori, which was used for the Tropical Mega Battle Phone Card, the Pokémon Trading Card Game video game, and the English Pokémon Red and Blue video games. PSA has authenticated only 2 copies of this card. The sheer scarcity of these cards speaks volumes of how unique they are, and there's no saying when another copy will come up for public auction. This test issue would fit perfectly into the place of "holy grail" in any collection, so don't miss this opportunity to make it yours!
