Where it came from
Released in 2002, the Legendary Collection served as a nostalgic retrospective for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, gathering popular cards from the original Base Set, Jungle, Fossil, and Team Rocket expansions. This reprint of Squirtle, originally debuted in the 1999 Base Set, was issued to introduce newer players to classic designs while utilizing a unique 'reverse holographic' foil treatment that distinguishes this specific release from its predecessor.
The card features the iconic illustration by Mitsuhiro Arita, whose work defined the visual language of the early franchise. Arita’s portrayal of Squirtle captures a playful, water-dwelling creature in a clean, minimalist style that emphasizes the character's friendly demeanor. While the card retains its common rarity status, it remains a sought-after piece for collectors due to the specific aesthetic of the Legendary Collection’s foil pattern, which covers the entire card face except for the artwork window.
