History
Clefairy, the Fairy Pokémon, is an iconic figure from the first generation, recognizable by its round shape and delicate wings. Even before the release of the games, Clefairy was considered the main mascot of the Pokémon franchise, a role eventually taken by Pikachu. Its gentle and mysterious design, often associated with the moon, has made it a fan favorite since its inception.
The Clefairy 5/102 card is part of the historic Base Set expansion, the very first series of Pokémon TCG cards released in the West. This set, launched in 1999, laid the foundations for the global phenomenon of the card game, introducing the original mechanics and Pokémon that captivated millions of players and collectors. Owning a Base Set card, especially a 1st Edition holographic one, means holding a piece of TCG history.
The artwork for this card is by the legendary Ken Sugimori, one of the original Pokémon designers. His characteristic style depicts Clefairy in a simple yet charming pose, perfectly capturing the essence of the Pokémon as it appears in the video games. The holographic finish adds a dimension of rarity and prestige, making this card a coveted item for any collector.
