The card was never sold: it was obtained by post, sending Media Factory a Bill's PC card from the Vending Machine Series 3 together with any Kadabra card. The nickname comes from Masaki, the Japanese name of Bill — a detail that preserves the mechanics of a distribution channel the hobby no longer has.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlakazam appears in the classic holographic finish against a starry background, spoons in hand and its body doubled to the right of the frame — an image from the period when the Japanese game was still defining its visual language. As a first-generation Pokémon and Pokédex number 065, it carries the recognition of the original roster, while the Trans Damage attack, which moves damage counters from its own Pokémon to the opponent's, remains one of the more unusual designs of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe card has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA at 9 Mint, in a sealed holder, which for a mail-in promotional card of this age is the practical guarantee of originality and of the condition recorded above.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57739732123988,"sku":"4606","price":9680.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/4606.jpg?v=1792493413","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/pokemon-alakazam-masaki-promo-communication-evolution-1999-japanese-psa-9","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
