History
The Tauros 47/64 card from the Jungle expansion is a piece of history for any collector of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Tauros, the Wild Bull Pokémon of Normal type, is recognizable by its robust silhouette and three distinctive tails, symbolizing its strength and fiery temperament. This card, from the second major expansion of the Pokémon TCG, perfectly captures the essence of this iconic first-generation Pokémon.
The Jungle expansion, originally launched in 1999 in the West, enriched the TCG world by introducing 48 new Pokémon, continuing the adventure initiated by the Base Set. The "1st Edition" version of this Tauros card is particularly sought after, bearing the famous stamp that certifies its belonging to the very first print run of this series. Kagemaru Himeno's illustration depicts Tauros in a dynamic pose, suggesting an imminent charge or great agility in the heart of a rocky, natural environment, true to its habitat.
As a Common card, this Tauros was easily accessible at the time, but its non-holographic First Edition version now represents a sought-after piece to complete a vintage collection and relive the beginnings of the Pokémon TCG phenomenon.
