Pokémon Dragonite Holo #9 — Expedition Base Set (2002), BGS 9

The holo Dragonite from the Expedition Base Set is one of the most significant cards of the e-Card era: the 2002 release that introduced the side bar for the e-Reader and set the visual language the TCG would carry into the following years.

This is the Italian printing, prized for its reduced print run and considerably scarcer than the international editions. The artwork shows Dragonite in a calm, protective pose beneath the broad, luminous holo treatment typical of Wizards of the Coast production in the early 2000s. Certified BGS 9, the card holds a high grade for a vintage holo of more than twenty years, with centring and surfaces that place it firmly among the well-preserved examples of the set.
