The Ampharos 2/165 in context
Why collectors care
Ampharos is the second Expedition holo and one of the set's most appealing Johto inclusions, giving the first English e-Reader set a bridge from the original Kanto cast into Generation II.
How to identify it
Expedition Base Set 2/165, Ampharos. Match the regular holo artwork and the 2/165 number; the set also has a reverse-holo version that should not be treated as the same finish.
Common mistakes
A reverse holo can look like a regular holo in a small scan. Ask for a clear view of the foil pattern and confirm the exact 2/165 label rather than relying on a generic Expedition listing.
Grade considerations
Surface scratches on the foil and whitening along the light border are the usual problems. The scan strip and thin corners deserve a close look because small chips are easy to miss in slab photos.
