{"product_id":"pokemon-lugia-holo-game-boy-promo-japanese-bgs-9-5","title":"Pokémon Lugia Holo — Game Boy Promo, Japanese, BGS 9.5","description":"\u003cp\u003eLugia Holo, the Japanese promotional card distributed through the Pokémon Trading Card Game for Game Boy Color — the video game that carried the card game into the handheld era and one of the most fondly remembered releases of the franchise. The card was never sold at retail: it reached players through the game's dedicated promotion, which has made it one of the most closely followed promos of the Neo period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe artwork is Ken Sugimori's, in the restrained, illustration-led register that defines the early Japanese promos: Lugia against a star field, the GB mark in the corner recording its origin. Minimal design, no ornament, and a print run tied to a distribution channel that no longer exists. For collectors of Japanese promos, the Game Boy cards sit at the point where the video game and the card game shared an audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example has been authenticated and encapsulated by Beckett Grading Services at 9.5 Gem Mint, with subgrades of 9.5 for centering, 10 for corners, 9.5 for edges and 9 for surface. For a vintage promo of this age, a Gem Mint grade is the practical guarantee of originality and of the condition recorded on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58062211547476,"sku":"3774","price":2349.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/file-1773205116208-Lotto_vino_-_scadenze_miste_LXXXV_14.png?v=1793443829","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/pokemon-lugia-holo-game-boy-promo-japanese-bgs-9-5","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
