Fossil was the fourth expansion released in 1999 and marked a pivotal moment in Pokemon's trading card game. The set introduced fossil mechanics and prehistoric themes while the hobby itself was reaching fever pitch—Fossil booster boxes flew off shelves as players and collectors raced to complete their collections during Pokemon's explosive mainstream debut. Articuno, the legendary ice-type bird from Generation One, appears here in its classic holographic treatment. This card represents one of the trio of legendary birds that defined early Pokemon collecting, with its striking artwork capturing the majesty of this frozen legend. Articuno holo cards remain highly sought across all conditions.
