Japanese CGC 9 Neo Premium File Croconaw 159

Illustrated by the legendary Ken Sugimori, one of the original artists for Pokemon, who has produced literally countless Pokemon cards. Estimates put it above over 1000, yet this includes some reprints. A good portion of his early work shows Pokemon in detail with fairly simple backgrounds. His latest work was in Silver Tempest.

Premium File is a promotional set released only in Japan in July, 2000. Released during the Neo era, this set uses a similar identifier as Neo Genesis. Cards from this set were handed out at the screenings of the third Pokemon movie, Spell of the Unown: Entei.
