This Magikarp card is a 1st Edition piece from the original 1999 Pokémon Card Game Base Set, making it a nostalgic collectible for early Pokémon TCG fans. The Mitsuhiro Arita artwork shows the floppy orange Magikarp lunging at a worm lure amid bubbles and a blue-green watery backdrop, highlighting its classic fish-Pokémon charm. Its bright yellow border and First Edition stamp underscore the card’s vintage appeal, so collectors appreciate this version even though Magikarp has humble stats (30 HP, Tackle and Flail). While not a tournament powerhouse, the card’s iconic art and status as an original release make it a fun, nostalgic trading card for fans of the early Pokémon TCG era.
