07Why Collectors Want It

  • Legendary Collection (2002) was the set that introduced reverse-holo "mirror foil" cards to the Pokémon TCG; its reverses are now among the most hunted vintage commons.
  • The reverse foil is the prize; the base #59 is a common.
  • Evolution of Mankey and a recognizable original-151 Fighting-type.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None
