Mareep

Description

The Mareep Reverse Holo card, designated as number 38 in the 2016 Steam Siege set, offers a distinct foil treatment that appeals to collectors of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Created by artist Eri Yamaki, this Lightning-type Pokémon is categorized as a Basic card with 60 HP, making it a foundational piece for many vintage-style decks. The card features two primary attacks: Colorless Thunder Wave, which allows players to flip a coin to potentially paralyze the opponent's Active Pokémon, and Tackle, dealing 20 damage. With a retreat cost of just one colorless energy, Mareep provides flexibility in gameplay mechanics while maintaining its status as a common rarity within the set. For investors and hobbyists, the Steam Siege expansion remains a notable chapter in Pokémon card history, and the Reverse Holo finish adds a layer of visual interest that distinguishes it from standard prints. Collectors often seek out specific numbers from this era to complete their sets or build nostalgic collections. The card's design and gameplay utility make it a staple for those interested in the early 2000s transition period of the TCG, even though this print originates from the 2016 re-release.
