The Arbok 3/165 in context
Why collectors care
Arbok is an early Expedition holo that shows how the set gave less obvious Kanto characters a serious art treatment. It is useful for collectors building the complete 1 to 32 holo run, not just the headline cards.
How to identify it
Expedition Base Set 3/165, Arbok. Verify the regular holo finish, the 3/165 number and the Expedition e-Reader layout; a reverse-holo Arbok shares the number but not the same surface.
Common mistakes
The same-number reverse holo is the easy substitution. Do not accept a listing that only says holo without seeing the artwork window and foil pattern clearly.
Grade considerations
Dark line art makes scratches and print lines stand out across the foil. Check the lower border and e-Reader strip for whitening, plus the top corners for factory flecks.
