This holographic Giovanni’s Persian card comes from the 1999 Japanese Gym 2 expansion (known as "Challenge from the Darkness") of the Pokémon TCG. It features classic Ken Sugimori artwork of Team Rocket’s Persian prowling down a dim corridor, with a sparkly star-pattern foil background that highlights the Pokémon’s sleek form. As a vintage Pokémon trading card, it appeals to collectors for its nostalgic late-’90s design, original Japanese printing, and Team Rocket theme. The Stage 1 Persian (evolving from Giovanni’s Meowth) is prized by fans of old-school Gym series cards and adds a touch of classic Pokémon history to any collection.
