Collector’s notes

Ho-oh 149/144 (Skyridge)
This Ho-oh is one of the Crystal Type secret rares from Skyridge, with the colorless phoenix rendered in bold reds, yellows and purples, wings flared as it sweeps across a sparkling holo starfield, art by Hajime Kusajima. Skyridge closed out the e-Card era and is notoriously tough to find, so collectors chase its Crystal cards hard, and a favorite Legendary like Ho-oh sits near the top of that list.
Ho-Oh SL5 (Call of Legends)
Ho-Oh banks through a swirling vortex of blue, violet and pink light, wings flared wide and head turned toward you with a sharp yellow eye, all rendered in the glossy CG style of art by Hideaki Hakozaki. This is one of the Shiny Legendary subset cards from Call of Legends, a short, popular run that HeartGold and SoulSilver era collectors chase, and Ho-Oh's Johto following makes it a favorite of the group.
Ho-Oh ex 104/115 (Unseen Forces)
Ho-Oh ex spreads its red and green-tipped wings across the whole frame, swooping toward you with talons out and its golden crest catching the light against a sparkling holo sky. Art by Mitsuhiro Arita gives the Legendary bird a bold, painterly presence. Collectors chase it as a classic Pokémon-ex from Unseen Forces, with the sparkly border and red card face typical of the EX era.
