Lapras (25) - Fossil (FO) NM Pokemon

Lapras (25/62) — 1999 Pokémon TCG Fossil Set, Non-Holo Rare | Near Mint

This is original WOTC-era Pokémon at its most collectible: Lapras 25/62 from the 1999 Fossil set, printed by Wizards of the Coast during the formative years of the Pokémon TCG. Fossil is the smallest expansion ever released in the Pokémon TCG — just 62 cards total — making every card in the set a true piece of the hobby's foundation. Lapras earned a prominent place in that set not once but twice, appearing as both the holo rare (#10) and this non-holo rare (#25), cementing its status as one of the set's signature Water-type icons.

• Card: Lapras, #25/62 — Non-Holo Rare, Unlimited print
• Set: Fossil (1999), Wizards of the Coast — 62-card set, the smallest expansion in Pokémon TCG history
• Artwork: Classic Ken Sugimori illustration, the same iconic style that defined an entire generation of collecting
• Condition: Near Mint — clean corners, sharp edges, no visible wear
• Market value: Raw NM copies trading in the $8–$12 range across recent comps

The Fossil set is where serious vintage Pokémon collections begin, and Lapras — a fan-favorite Transport Pokémon with enduring appeal across the franchise — is one of the few characters to anchor the set at two different rarities. A clean, Near Mint copy of the non-holo rare at this price point is exactly the kind of foundational vintage card that fills a WOTC-era set collection or anchors a Lapras master set build. Twenty-five-plus years of age and this one still looks the part.
