The Ninetales 21/165 in context
Why collectors care
Ninetales is a durable Kanto favorite and one of Expedition's more recognizable mid-run holos. Its inclusion keeps the set appealing to character collectors as well as completists.
How to identify it
Expedition Base Set 21/165, Ninetales. Confirm the regular numbered holo and 21/165 mark, not the matching reverse-holo finish or the Ninetales from another vintage set.
Common mistakes
Vintage Ninetales cards are easy to mix by set and finish. The Expedition e-Reader layout and the exact number are more reliable than the listing title.
Grade considerations
The warm foil palette can hide light scratches in flat photos. Use angled light and inspect the pale border, corners and lower strip for whitening.
