Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1999 as part of the Jungle expansion, the Pinsir 9/64 card marked the first major set expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game in English. Following the success of the Base Set, Wizards of the Coast introduced Jungle to expand the roster of available creatures, drawing directly from the original Japanese 'Jungle' set. The card features the fierce, stag-beetle-inspired Pinsir, designed to showcase the aggressive nature of early Grass-type attackers in the evolving game meta.

The artwork was created by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and iconic illustrators in the history of the franchise. Arita’s design for this card utilizes a distinct, dynamic pose that highlights the character's signature pincers, framed against the hallmark holographic starburst pattern that defined the premium cards of the late nineties. Upon release, the holographic rare status of this card made it a sought-after piece for players and collectors, anchoring the aesthetic appeal of the first expansion era.
