Where it came from
The Legendary Collection, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2002, served as a compilation set designed to reintroduce some of the most iconic Pokémon from the original Base, Jungle, and Fossil sets to a new generation of players. This Ninetales card, numbered 17/110, features the classic artwork by Ken Sugimori, utilizing the distinct 'reverse-holo' foiling pattern—a hallmark of this set that featured a textured, starry-foil treatment across the entire card surface rather than just the character window.
As the final expansion produced by Wizards of the Coast for the English market, the set carries historical significance for enthusiasts of the early TCG era. The design choice to feature older, nostalgic art paired with modern, experimental foiling techniques was intended to celebrate the brand's history during a period of transition in the competitive meta. The card remains a quintessential example of the 2000s-era aesthetic and is frequently sought after by collectors for its unique reflective properties and its place in the timeline of the trading card game's evolution.
