This article is part of Project TCG, a Bulbapedia project that aims to report on every aspect of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Knowing that the 33.9 is a ‘middle weight’ and curved makes me think there is Holo there haha… But it’s too much risk, ill likely leave it sealed as it’s mint.For more information on the 1999 Pokémon Fossil 1st Edition gaming card set, please visit https://www.psacard.com/cardfacts/non-sports-cards/1999-nintendo-pokemon-fossil/32552. Much like Jungle did before it, Fossil also introduced for the first time the final-evolved forms of basic Pokémon that had been released in previous sets for example Dragonite, Gengar, Hypno and Sandslash. They weigh about 1.98 grams. Finally, the Holofoil cards weigh close to the same around as the Ultrarare cards, weighing in at 1.93 grams. The extra décor on these cards makes a difference and the proof is in the weights. The legendary bird [cards] are always pretty prominent no matter what set they're in," noted Pratte. "The 'legendary' term was reserved for the rarest Pokémon and typically the most powerful. In the game, you would encounter Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos in these caves and you had one opportunity to catch them. They were very difficult to catch. They're legendary in the game; they're very powerful and they're difficult to collect, so people have a higher appreciation for them."

As stated in the paragraph above, Fossil used the Star Galaxy holo pattern for its 15 holofoil cards. This is the same holo pattern used in Base set and Jungle. However, over the years, few copies of all 15 holofoil cards from Fossil have been discovered to have the Cosmos holo pattern. This Haunter was accidentally printed with a ‘stain’ in the lower right corner of the illustration box. 15/62 Zapdos Evolution Box Error We are NOT selling cards. These are compiled for clarification of relative values and what you might expect to pay online or at a game store for these cards. While the Pokémon card market is volatile sometimes, vintage cards have always slowly increased in value. Some have exploded in value but most slowly rise up over time. Similar to the Aerodactyl 1/62 that is included in the Fossil set, a first edition prerelease copy was given out as a Pokémon League promotional card in July 1999, before the actual set was released. In the US, this promo had the ‘Galaxy Star’ holo pattern while the European copy had the ‘Cosmos’ holo pattern.But, before you start any type of weighing, you will need to make sure you are properly equipped with a scale that is able to give you the most accurate weight numbers in grams. Some Krabby cards from the unlimited print run were printed with an incomplete Fossil set symbol. It looks as if there was an obstruction in the printing process, and some of the symbol is missing. How to tell if a card is from the Fossil set This Zapdos error has a cut-out in the holofoil as if there were an evolution box in the upper left. However, there is not. This error is present on both first edition and unlimited prints. 51/62 Krabby If you’re buying them to add to your collection as your ‘grail’ piece or buying them as an investment please ensure you do so safely to avoid being scammed out of your hard earned cash.
