Character: Golbat Set: Base Set Series: Fossil Card Number: 34 Rarity: Common Condition: Raw Grade: N/A Year: 1999 Illustrator:  Kagemaru Himeno The Golbat 34/62 Pokémon Fossil card is a classic collectible from the 1999 Fossil expansion, one of the earliest and most iconic sets in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Stage 1 Grass-type Pokémon, this Uncommon card evolves from Zubat and showcases the bat-like creature in mid-flight, illustrated with striking detail by Kagemaru Himeno. With 60 HP and a dual attack lineup featuring Wing Attack (30 damage) and Leech Life (20 damage, with the added effect of removing damage counters from Golbat), this card blends nostalgic gameplay with enduring visual appeal. Its inclusion in the Fossil set—known for introducing prehistoric Pokémon and rare holographic variants—makes it a sought-after piece for both players and collectors. This raw, ungraded card captures the essence of late '90s Pokémon TCG design, complete with the distinctive border and layout of the original English print run by Wizards of the Coast. The reverse side features the classic Pokédex entry: "Once it strikes, it will not stop draining energy from the victim even if it gets too heavy to fly," a nod to Golbat’s relentless nature. The card’s condition varies across the collecting market, but even in standard Near Mint or lightly played states, it holds significant appeal due to its age, artwork, and role in early Pokémon TCG decks. Whether used in vintage gameplay or displayed as part of a curated collection, the Golbat 34/62 card represents a tangible piece of Pokémon history. As part of the 62-card Fossil set, Golbat shares space with other legendary and rare Pokémon like Moltres, Zapdos, and Aerodactyl, further enhancing its collectible value. While not a holographic or promotional card, its accessibility and nostalgic charm make it a staple in many retro collections. The 1st Edition printings are especially prized, though Unlimited versions remain popular for their affordability and playability. Whether you're a longtime trainer revisiting your childhood or a new collector exploring the roots of the TCG, the Golbat 34/62 Fossil card is a rewarding addition that bridges generations of Pokémon fans.
