Expert Marcus – Cordial Bond (A033) is a 2003 Pokémon TCG trading card from the Battle-E Series 1 e-Reader collection. The card’s design mimics a Ruby/Sapphire game screen, featuring pixel-art Heracross and Skarmory sprites (both Level 50) with their moves and items printed in silver foil. Its green-and-white striped background and foil-accented layout give a distinct retro look reminiscent of the original GameBoy Advance interface. Collectors value this rare novelty card (numbered 33/48 in the Cordial Bond subset) for its Gen III nostalgia and unique Pokémon e-Reader tie-in.
