2002 Pokémon Legendary Collection #21 Butterfree - Reverse Foil (PSA 7 NM)
The 2002 Pokémon Legendary Collection #21 Butterfree Reverse Foil represents a distinctive offering from Wizards of the Coast's Legendary Collection set, which celebrated fan-favorite Pokémon with refreshed artwork and special foil treatments. Released during the tail end of the WOTC era, this set aimed to provide collectors with premium alternate versions of iconic creatures, and Butterfree—one of the original 151 Pokémon and notably Ash Ketchum's first released Pokémon in the anime—was a standout selection for this treatment.
As a reverse foil variant, the holographic effect appears on the card's borders, text, and frame rather than the artwork itself, creating a unique shimmering contrast against Mitsuhiro Arita's detailed illustration of Butterfree mid-flight with its signature wingspan.
Graded PSA 7 (Near Mint), this specific tier presents a beautifully preserved example—free from creases, stains, or structural damage—with clear surface and sharp corners, offering collectors an accessible yet certified way to own a piece of early-2000s Pokémon TCG history that combines nostalgic appeal with the distinctive reverse foil finish characteristic of the Legendary Collection run.
