This one's not in great condition, sadly. The card itself is really cool because it's lenticular and includes all 3 Deoxys forms in one card that you can see by looking from different angles, but it's covered in a layer of plastic to make the effect work. It seems like, in the heat and humidity of Japan, the plastic has noticeably yellowed over time. Unless light hits the card just right to hide it (and I did my best with that for these pictures), it's pretty obvious that the color is off. I'm trying to come up with a good way to display it now so I can always make sure the light is at a good angle.

This is so cool. Is this the only card they made in this lenticular design or are there more?

Just this one I think, I haven't been able to find another!

I can imagine it was hard and expensive to make on a large scale! Such a cool card to have tho!

I think this is in decent condition regardless (admittedly based on what's shown here, but still!) and it's such a unique find, that it's a fantastic card all the same! I'd never even heard of a lenticular card before
