About This Card

Known in Japan as Kabigon (カビゴン), this is the Art Rare printing of Snorlax from Japanese Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a), illustrated by GOSSAN. Numbered 181/165, it sits past the base set checklist — placing it firmly in the Secret Rare tier. The Japanese Pokémon 151 expansion is one of the most celebrated and heavily collected modern sets in TCG history, focusing purely on Gen 1 nostalgia — giving foundational cards like Snorlax high liquidity and stable demand across global markets. GOSSAN’s artwork perfectly captures Snorlax’s classic personality: hilariously blocking the doorway of a cozy home while a Pidgey rests on its stomach, surrounded by a meticulously detailed neighborhood background. The Art Rare design removes the classic frame text boxes entirely, making it an exceptional standalone display piece. This copy holds a CGC 9 Mint grade with virtually no visible wear to the naked eye, sealed in a tamper-evident CGC slab with verified certification number #6156475010.
