2002 Pokemon Legendary Collection #53 Meowth - Rev. Foil (Reverse Holo) Pokemon Trading Card. Pairing one of the most recognizable Pokemon from the original generation with the spectacular foil treatment that has made Legendary Collection a favorite among vintage collectors. Released during the final years of Wizards of the Coast's historic tenure with the Pokemon Trading Card Game, Legendary Collection revisited memorable Pokemon and artwork from the hobby's earliest expansions while introducing its now iconic reverse holographic design, covering nearly the entire card in an explosive fireworks like pattern of shimmering color. Meowth #53 is an especially fun character to find in this dazzling format, featuring one of the franchise's most famous Pokemon and a longtime star of the animated series through its unforgettable association with Team Rocket. Meowth's mischievous personality, countless appearances alongside Jessie and James, and status as one of the original 151 have made the character instantly recognizable to generations of Pokemon fans. The Legendary Collection Reverse Holo treatment transforms this classic Meowth into a vibrant showcase piece, surrounding the artwork with brilliant bursts of foil unlike virtually anything else produced during the vintage era. Combining an iconic original Pokemon, tremendous early franchise nostalgia, vintage Wizards of the Coast appeal, and one of the boldest holographic treatments in Pokemon history, this Meowth is a fantastic addition to any Legendary Collection, Team Rocket, original 151, or vintage Pokemon collection.
