Team Rocket's Wobbuffet 103/098 (JP)

This is Team Rocket's Wobbuffet, card 103/098 from the Japanese set The Glory of Team Rocket. The card number sits above the set total, which marks it as one of the cards numbered beyond the main set, the bracket where the special art prints are found.

This is an Art Rare, a card type that puts the spotlight on the illustration. Art Rares show the Pokemon in an expanded scene with detailed surroundings rather than the standard bordered portrait, and the result is a card prized for its artwork. As a Team Rocket themed printing, this Wobbuffet ties into the villainous team's storyline, giving it character driven appeal on top of the art treatment.

Wobbuffet is an instantly recognisable Pokemon with a strong link to Team Rocket in the wider franchise, so this Art Rare carries extra meaning for fans of that side of the world. Collectors who follow Japanese releases or enjoy themed character cards will find this one well worth seeking out.
