2021 POKEMON JAPANESE CREATURES DECK CORPORATE HISTORY MARNIE #198 CGC 9.5 MINT+

In December 2021, Creatures Inc. celebrated Pokémon’s 25th anniversary with a unique gift: the Corporate History Deck. Embossed with a gold foil Pokémon 25th anniversary logo, Creatures Inc. distributed its 30-card set to Pokémon TCG illustrators, Creatures staff members, and other Pokémon affiliates, with each card representing a different year in the TCG’s history. While it is difficult to determine the number of Corporate History Decks issued, conservative estimates place the print run at 250-400 examples per card, with even fewer ever offered for sale. So, this CGC 9.5 example of Sword and Shield rival Marnie (representing 2020) will likely delight collectors in this week’s auction. CGC has only assessed five examples of the card, and with its supreme scarcity and significance to the TCG’s history, it seems fit for a Pokémon master.
