💎 A premium EX-era collectible
EX Dragon represents an important period in Pokémon TCG history, arriving during the early Nintendo EX era and featuring the distinctive card designs that have become increasingly popular with vintage collectors.
As card 1/97, Absol is one of the set\'s classic holographic rares, combining a fan-favourite Pokémon with beautiful artwork and the unmistakable aesthetic of the 2003 EX era. More than two decades after release, finding these early EX-series holos preserved in Mint condition is increasingly desirable.
🔥 Why CGC Graded?
CGC is recognised for its precise grading standards, crystal-clear slabs and strong global collector acceptance. A CGC Mint 9 represents an impressive level of preservation for a card from this era, offering excellent overall presentation and strong eye appeal.
For collectors who appreciate professionally authenticated vintage Pokémon cards, CGC graded examples provide excellent protection, presentation and confidence in the condition and authenticity of the card.
📈 Investment potential
Early EX-era holographic cards have developed a strong following amongst collectors as attention continues to expand beyond the original Wizards of the Coast sets into the highly nostalgic Nintendo EX era.
Absol remains a popular Generation III Pokémon, and high-grade copies of its early TCG appearances can be particularly appealing to collectors. Combining its 2003 release, classic holo treatment and Mint 9 grade, this example represents an attractive addition to a premium vintage Pokémon collection.
