Collector’s notes

Rocket's Persian ex 116/115 (Unseen Forces)
Rocket's Persian ex shows the cat stalking straight toward you in a low crouch, glowing red jewel and narrowed eyes set against a dark, speckled holo backdrop, with art by Mitsuhiro Arita. As a secret rare tucked past the main list of Unseen Forces, it draws Team Rocket fans and EX era collectors who prize its menacing pose and the sparkling holofoil border.
Dark Persian 17/53 (Wizards Black Star Promos)
Dark Persian sits upright against a dark, sparkling holofoil background, art by Ken Sugimori in the clean, flat style of the early official artwork, with a narrowed sidelong glance that fits its Team Rocket ties. Collectors chase it as a holo entry in the Wizards Black Star Promos, a natural companion to the Team Rocket era cards, and a favorite for fans of the Rocket boss's pampered cat.
Persian 78/64 (Shrouded Fable)
Persian sits on a balcony at night, seen from behind as it gazes over a glittering city, while its reflection in the window glass stares back at you with sharp red eyes. Art by Whisker gives the scene a soft, painterly feel with red curtains and a cozy chair framing the view. It's one of the quieter Illustration Rare cards in Shrouded Fable, and the reflection trick wins over plenty of collectors.
