Starmie Holo 121/165 (JP)

This is Starmie, card number 121/165, a Rare Holo from the Japanese Pokemon 151 set. Starmie is a classic Kanto Pokemon, the evolved form of Staryu, and a familiar face from the original generation that the 151 set celebrates.

Pokemon 151 revisits the original Kanto Pokedex, covering the first 151 Pokemon, and it has been a consistent favourite for collectors drawn to the classic line up. The Holo treatment here means the artwork window carries the foil shine, the traditional finish that has marked rare cards since the earliest sets. As a Rare, it sits a step above the common and uncommon cards in the set.

Collectors look for this holo Starmie both to complete the 151 set and for the nostalgia of an original Kanto Pokemon in a modern printing. Holo cards can show surface marks and scratches more readily than non holo cards, so clean, well centred copies are the ones collectors most want to track down.
