History
Lapras, the Transport Pokémon, is a majestic and benevolent Water/Ice type creature, capable of traversing oceans while carrying passengers and goods on its back. Its depiction in the Fossil expansion, numbered 10/62, perfectly captures this elegance and quiet strength.
The Fossil expansion, released in 1999, was the third series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game to be published in the West, closely following Base Set and Jungle. It introduced the concept of "fossil" Pokémon brought back to life, adding a mysterious and archaeological dimension to the TCG universe. The holographic Lapras from this set is one of the most iconic and sought-after cards, especially in its 1st Edition.
The artwork for Lapras 10/62 is by the legendary Ken Sugimori, the original designer of many Pokémon. His distinctive style gives Lapras an appearance that is both powerful and serene, gracefully swimming in the depths. The holographic version of this card enhances the beauty of the artwork, making Lapras a true gem for any collection.
