Provenance

Where it came from

The Omastar card from the EX Sandstorm expansion was released in 2003 as part of the early wave of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's EX era. This set was notable for introducing the EX mechanic, which featured powerful Pokémon with high hit points, though this particular Omastar serves as a standard rare holographic card representing the fossil Pokémon’s prehistoric roots.

The artwork was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and recognizable artists in the history of the Pokémon TCG. Arita’s approach for this card emphasizes the creature's ancient, shell-bound form, utilizing a textured, painterly style that was characteristic of the transition period between the classic Wizards of the Coast era and the shift to Nintendo's direct management of the game.
