Description: This Dark Dragonite No.149 is from the 1997 Japanese Rocket Gang set which was realeased in 1997 a full 2 years and 4 months before the English version was realeased worldwide in 2000! With fewer cards made in the Japanese language, and being released so much earlier than the 2000 Pokemon Team Rocket set, this series should be worth quite a bit more than the English version. Right now it is not, but that could change when people start to realize how much rarer this set is than Team Rocket! It should also be mentioned that the Japanese card stock was a higher grade than it's English counterpart, and centering and overal quality of the printing is considered much better. This particular card has a very low CGC pop. of 17.Distributed by Wizards of the Coast, this card is sure to continue increasing in value year after year! This card showcases Mitsuhiro Arita's award worthy artwork. I am open to offers, but wanted my card to be covered by eBay's Authenticity Guarantee which required cards to be offered for a minimum of $250. If you make an offer that I accept, we will still both be protected by the Authenticity Guarantee.
