{"product_id":"pokemon-lugia-crystal-holo-aquapolis-149-147-bgs-7-5","title":"Pokémon Lugia Crystal Holo — Aquapolis 149\/147, BGS 7.5","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal Lugia\u003c\/strong\u003e from Aquapolis, printed in 2003 during the e-Reader era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The Crystal cards were a short-lived experiment unique to the Expedition, Aquapolis and Skyridge trilogy: Pokémon rendered in their alternate colouring, with an energy-shifting mechanic that no other rarity in the game has replicated since. Because the mechanic lived and died within three sets, the category is structurally finite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLugia is the card collectors chase hardest from that group. The illustration places the guardian of the seas against an aquatic field, and the Crystal treatment gives the foil a refractive quality that reads differently from every subsequent holo pattern. Card 149\/147 is a secret rare — a number beyond the set count, inserted at a rate low enough that surviving examples in graded condition remain a small pool more than two decades later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis copy is certified \u003cstrong\u003eBGS 7.5 Near Mint+\u003c\/strong\u003e, a grade that keeps the card presentable and sealed while sitting below the premium tier that high-grade Crystal Lugias command. For collectors of the e-Reader period, it is an accessible way into one of the era’s defining cards; for anyone building a Lugia or Crystal-focused set, it fills the gap that is hardest to fill with a perfect example. The certification is included with the slab, and the piece is ready for storage or display as it stands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58064083648852,"sku":"4154","price":6270.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/4154_1.png?v=1793448398","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/pokemon-lugia-crystal-holo-aquapolis-149-147-bgs-7-5","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
