Wartortle Reverse Holo 008/165

This is Wartortle, card number 008/165 from the 151 set, a Scarlet and Violet era release that revisits the original Kanto Pokedex from Bulbasaur through to Mewtwo. The set was widely collected for its nostalgic theme and its modern artwork for the classic first generation Pokemon.

This copy is a Reverse Holo, meaning the card frame and border carry the holographic foil while the main artwork stays standard. Reverse holos are produced as a parallel version of the regular set cards, so they sit alongside the non holo print as a distinct collectable variant. Many collectors seek them out for the extra shine they bring to a binder and for the challenge of completing a full reverse holo run.

Wartortle is the middle stage of one of the original Kanto starter lines and a recognisable face for long time fans. A clean reverse holo copy is a neat addition for 151 collectors chasing the complete set in both finishes.
