English CGC 8.5 1st Edition Team Rocket Common Dark Squirtle 68

Illustrated by the one, and only Atsuko Nishida, easily one of the most iconic creators in all of Pokemon. She is not only responsible for an incredible amount of cards, but also is the one who designed incredibly popular Pokemon like Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander! Her style tends to lean on an airbrush technique that has a soft, bright approach to Pokemon designs. 

Released on November 21st, 1997 in Japan, and a few years later in English this was the original Team Rocket set that went on to inspire many others. It features things like dark Pokemon as well as some Team Rocket trainer cards. A fan favorite of many collectors!
