✨ This exceptional Shuppet 43/97 Reverse Holo from the iconic Pokémon EX Dragon set (2003) has been professionally CGC Graded 8.5 NM/Mint+, making it a beautifully preserved example of one of Shuppet’s earliest Pokémon TCG appearances. Featuring striking Aya Kusube artwork, classic EX-era e-Reader styling, and a dramatic reverse holofoil finish, this card perfectly captures Shuppet’s mysterious Ghost-type character — a distinctive vintage collectible from Pokémon’s early EX era.
💎 A premium EX-era collectible
EX Dragon is one of the most distinctive early sets from the Pokémon EX era, released in 2003 and remembered for its colourful artwork, e-Reader card design, powerful Pokémon-ex cards, and fantastic selection of Generation III Pokémon. As one of the earlier Nintendo-era expansions, it represents an important transitional period in Pokémon TCG history and has developed a strong following among vintage collectors.
Shuppet is particularly memorable here thanks to the bold Aya Kusube illustration, with its unusual close-up composition and intense colours creating one of the more distinctive artworks in the set. This CGC 8.5 copy combines vintage EX-era appeal, memorable artwork, reverse holofoil, and excellent preservation more than two decades after release.
🔥 Why CGC Graded?
CGC is recognised for its precise grading standards, crystal-clear slabs, and strong global collector acceptance. A CGC 8.5 NM/Mint+ represents a very well-preserved vintage card with strong overall presentation and eye appeal. For collectors who appreciate accuracy, transparency, and premium display quality, professionally graded CGC cards provide an attractive way to collect and protect vintage Pokémon.
📈 Investment potential
Vintage EX-era cards have become increasingly desirable as collectors revisit one of the most distinctive periods in Pokémon TCG history.

Shuppet’s distinctive Ghost-type character, early Generation III appearance, and striking Aya Kusube artwork give this card additional collector appeal. Graded EX Dragon reverse holos offer an attractive combination of vintage scarcity, artwork collectability, and early EX-era nostalgia, making this CGC 8.5 a fantastic addition to a high-quality vintage collection.
