Collector Significance

Neo Genesis introduced Johto Pokémon to the TCG and features Lugia — one of the most sought-after vintage Japanese cards. The set's end-of-millennium release makes it a milestone in the hobby.

Grading Notes

Neo Genesis cards are generally well-printed with good centering. Lugia holos are highly scrutinized by graders — even minor holo scratches can drop a grade significantly.
