5 facts about this card
Butterfree #38 comes from Expedition Base Set, the first English e-Card expansion, a landmark release that built Nintendo e-Reader compatibility right into the card’s border design.
This reverse holo sits beside a separate holo Butterfree in the same set, giving Expedition collectors two distinct chase versions of the same Pokémon to hunt down.
Butterfree carries extra nostalgia because Ash’s Butterfree became one of the anime’s earliest tearjerker farewells, a moment Pokémon’s own coverage still highlights as especially memorable.
The card’s storybook-style artwork is by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, an illustrator whose soft, nature-rich compositions give Expedition cards a distinctive hand-painted feel collectors instantly recognize.
Butterfree has been a fan favorite since Pokémon Red and Blue because it is one of the first fully evolved Pokémon many players can raise, making cards like this feel tied to the very start of a trainer’s journey.
