Topps Pokémon TV Animation Edition Series 1 Trading Card: EP22 The Tower of Terror

This is a standard-sized trading card from the Topps Pokémon TV Animation Edition Series 1, released circa 1999. The card portrays a scene from the anime episode 'The Tower of Terror,' featuring the Ghost-type Pokémon Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar. The card is printed on semi-glossy cardstock with vibrant purple, yellow, and blue hues. On the right side, a vertical dark gray band contains the episode title 'EP22 The Tower of Terror' in yellow serif text, accompanied by a small graphic resembling a film strip or VHS tape. The Pokémon franchise logo is visible in the lower-left corner. Condition-wise, the specimen shows visible whitening and wear along the top and left edges, with noticeable blunting at the corners. There is a slight surface indentation or bend visible on the upper-left edge. This card is part of the original wave of merchandise produced by Topps during the peak of the late 90s 'Pokémania,' representing a non-gameplay collectible focused on the animated series rather than the Wizards of the Coast trading card game.
