2000 Pokemon Gym Challenge #1 Blaine's Arcanine Holo - 1st Edition Pokemon Trading Card. Highlighted by a beautiful holographic swirl prominently positioned in the upper right corner directly behind Arcanine's tail, creating an especially eye catching presentation on this classic vintage holo. Released as part of the beloved Gym Challenge expansion, the set continued the popular Trainer focused concept of pairing iconic Kanto Gym Leaders with their signature Pokemon, with Blaine's Arcanine standing among the premier holographic cards of the release. Featuring spectacular artwork by Ken Sugimori, the card showcases the powerful Fire type Arcanine in a dramatic pose surrounded by the brilliant classic holographic pattern collectors associate with the Wizards of the Coast era. Arcanine has remained a fan favorite since the earliest days of Pokemon thanks to its majestic design and powerful presence, while its association with Cinnabar Island Gym Leader Blaine gives this card even greater nostalgic appeal. The coveted 1st Edition stamp further enhances the desirability of this vintage example, while the beautifully placed holographic swirl gives the card a distinctive visual characteristic that collectors especially appreciate. Combining an original 151 Pokemon, iconic Gym Leader association, 1st Edition status, classic Wizards of the Coast presentation, and an outstanding swirl placement, this Blaine's Arcanine is a fantastic addition to any Gym Challenge, Arcanine, or vintage Pokemon collection.
