Butterfree [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Butterfree #21 becomes especially iconic in Legendary Collection because this set introduced the famous 'fireworks' Reverse Holofoil pattern, one of the most distinctive foil treatments of the entire Wizards of the Coast era.
Card History
This card is a reprint of the earlier Butterfree artwork by Kagemaru Himeno, giving collectors a second chance to own a vintage Himeno illustration in Legendary Collection's much more dramatic Reverse Holo finish.
Artist
Kagemaru Himeno is one of the defining illustrators of early Pokémon history, so this Butterfree carries the soft, storybook style that many collectors instantly associate with the franchise's original TCG era.
Card History
Butterfree has unusual emotional weight for longtime fans because Ash's Butterfree starred in 'Bye Bye Butterfree,' one of the original anime's most memorable farewell episodes.
Cultural Impact
Butterfree was one of the earliest fully evolved Pokémon many players ever raised in Pokémon Red and Blue, which gives vintage cards like this one a strong nostalgia pull beyond pure rarity.
