5 facts about this card
This Reverse Holo comes from EX Team Rocket Returns, the November 8, 2004 expansion that brought Team Rocket back into the TCG and made stamped Reverse Holos a signature chase of the ex era.
Ekans #55 is one of the commons in EX Team Rocket Returns that was available in both regular and foil treatments, which is exactly why the Reverse Holo version feels like a sleeper binder upgrade for set collectors.
Even as a simple common, this card quietly connects to Team Rocket’s evolution lines because it can evolve into Arbok, Dark Arbok, or even Arbok ex within the card ecosystem tied to the set.
Collectors love this Ekans even more because it was illustrated by Atsuko Nishida, one of Pokémon’s foundational artists and the designer credited with Pikachu’s character design.
Nishida’s TCG work is especially meaningful in vintage collecting because her regular-expansion card art history stretches back to the original Team Rocket expansion, giving this Team Rocket Returns Ekans a neat full-circle artist connection.
