Raikou Holo 13/64 Neo Revelation 1st Edition (Italian) – BGS 9

A museum-grade example from the Wizards of the Coast era, this Raikou Holo 13/64 comes from Neo Revelation (2001) in the notably scarce Italian 1st Edition printing—an area of the market prized for its lower distribution versus English and for the difficulty of locating high-grade vintage holographics over two decades on.

Raikou holds a distinct cultural and collecting significance as part of the legendary Johto “beasts” trio alongside Entei and Suicune, and Neo Revelation remains one of the most recognized and actively collected WOTC sets. The card’s classic early-2000s holo aesthetic—paired with an energetic, lightning-charged artwork—captures the character’s identity as the Thunder Pokémon and makes the piece equally compelling for display and long-term portfolio building within vintage Pokémon. Professionally authenticated and encapsulated by Beckett as BGS 9 Mint, with strong, well-balanced subgrades, it represents a high-condition, language-variant cornerstone that is increasingly difficult to replace in comparable grade.
