Pokémon Expedition Poliwrath Holo #109 1st Edition Japanese PSA 9

This PSA 9 Poliwrath holo from the 2001 Pokémon Expedition set is a first-edition Japanese card numbered 109/128. Expedition was the first e-Reader set, featuring dot-code borders that made holos from this era especially condition-sensitive, so a PSA 9 example represents a high-grade survivor from a set over two decades old.
