Bidspirit auction | 1996 Alakazam Holo Japanese Base

1996 Alakazam Holo Japanese Base Set #065 - This is the Japanese-language Alakazam, card No. 065 from Nintendo's original 1996 Pocket Monsters Card Game, the same foundational issue that launched the worldwide Pokemon TCG craze. The card carries the star rarity symbol marking it as a holo rare, showing Alakazam's signature sparkling foil artwork by Ken Sugimori beneath the swirling purple background. A key pickup for collectors building the Japanese base set alongside English Base Set counterparts, and a strong pull for any serious Psychic-type or first-generation Pokemon collection. The card is raw and ungraded; corners show light handling wear typical of the era, with the foil surface intact and no creases or scratches visible in the photos.
